Besides, the security team is also at fault for allowing the trespassers in. This incident isn't entirely Mr. Drake's responsibility." Logan's face turned red with anger. He hadn't expected Miles to stand up for Ashton so openly, and it was clear he felt humiliated.
"The amusement park is under my management now," Miles continued calmly. "So you can leave the rest to me, Mr. Logan." Miles's words were a clear indication that Logan had overstepped his authority.
Logan was fuming. If anyone else had said that, he would have thrown them out without a second thought. But because it was Miles, he restrained himself.

As for the damaged facilities, I'll have the technicians repair them, but you or your company will be responsible for the costs."

"Drive," he ordered coldly.
I frowned. "What do you want, Mr. Mercer? I need to get back to work." "Just drive!" Logan snapped, pulling at his collar in frustration.
Knowing arguing with him would getnowhere, I tightened my grip on the steering wheel and asked, "Where to?" "Just drive!" he barked again.
Resigned, I started driving. With no clear destination, I decided to head toward the Mercer estate.
Logan quickly caught on. "I didn't tell you to drivehome." "And you didn't tellnot to," I retorted.
Logan let out a frustrated sigh. "What do you want from me, Elaine? You saw it yourself-Ashton's trouble. Those punks didn't hesitate to destroy Mercer Corporation's property.
