When Sonia noticed that the caller wasn’t speaking, she tilted her head in confusion, ready to hang up. It wasn’t until then that the caller responded. A man’s deep and

Toby swore sternly, “This won’t happen again.”

“I’m not so sure about that. I know just how capable your family is of wreaking havoc,

especially your mother.” Sonia rolled her eyes as soon as she mentioned Jean.

“President Fuller, can I ask you a question? It’s been on my mind for a long time.”
