Chapter 59

Stroking his chin, he mused, “Could it be that someone dropped their body wash as they passed by and it spilled

right on your doorstep, and you were

unlucky enough to step in it?”

Narrowing her eyes, she answered, “Maybe, but the chances don’t sound too high.”

Sonia’s hand that was resting on the blanket clenched. “You’re right. When

Frowning tightly, he grumbled, “So, if

this isn’t an option, what should we

do?”

After a moment of thought, she

proposed, “Unless we can get a recording of her admitting to deliberately harming me, all of our efforts will amount to nothing.”

“That won’t be easy.” With a sinister

smile, he continued, “But I can have someone threaten her while wearing a wire. She’ll fall for it.”
