Atlas immediately shook his head. "No, but we did leverage the relationship between Liora and Felix, that's for sure."

"I had Liora and Felix's relationship thoroughly investigated by Grayson long ago. It wasn't part of our arrangement, but we used their connection." Suddenly, I remembered Grayson mentioning it to me.

"Grayson told me that he had checked in on Felix and Liora. Was it because of Melanie's confession? I said I'd have a good chat with Grayson tonight."

"I had investigated Melanie's confession because Liora always acted like she had insider information. I looked into it, and sure enough, information came from inside."
