Ellis was sharp enough to recognize that if Abigail knew both Getty and Alexander, she likely hailed from a
similar elite background.
The offer of thirty million was probably within her means. Abigail pulled Quinn into a seat next to her, crossed
her legs confidently, and declared, "You guys talk about what you want. If thirty million isn't enough, | can add
more." For the first time, Ellis found himself overwhelmed by someone's eagerness to spend money.
Getty interjected, "I'll match whatever she pays. You're not the only one here with money."
Abigail looked at her with disdain. "You may have money, but is it really yours?"
"And is your money truly yours?" Getty snapped back.
"At least it belongs to my family, the Vanderbilts. | have my share, regardless of what | do. What about you?"
"You..." Getty was at a loss for words.
Ellis, attempting to quell the rising tension, raised his hand. "Ladies, please, letjust call Alexander."
"Do that. Put it on speaker. We all want to hear this!" Abigail insisted, eager to see whether Alexander would
indeed side with Getty.
Ellis, who didn't have Alexander's number, could only call his assistant.
After explaining the circumstances to the assistant, it becapparent that the issue was beyond his authority;
he had to consult Alexander.
"Alexander, Quinn and Getty are both interested in the srole. What's your preference?" the assistant asked.
Alexander, eyes on sdocuments, didn't even look up. "Give it to Getty."
"Uh...?" the assistant hesitated.

"| said, Getty. Is that clear?" Alexander cut him off.
The assistant bowed his head, "Understood, I'll handle it immediately."
When Ellis got off the phone, she looked at Abigail with embarrassment.
"Abigail, | got a response from Alexander."
Abigail could tell from his embarrassed expression what the decision was. "It's for her, isn't it? Ellis, it seems you
favor Alexander's decisions. Doesn't the Vanderbilt family deserve equal consideration?"
