No Strings Attached

Upon hearing those words, the two men ceased their conflict.
Clara glanced at the bruises on lan's face, her brow furrowing in concern. "You've figured out who's behind this, haven't you?"
Her words struck at the heart of the matter. She didn't believe lan would fight Brodie over something as trivial as the position of CEO. So, there was only one possibility: they both knew who was orchestrating things from behind the scenes.
