Zoe calmed down and said to Betty, “I have an important call to take. Wait for me. I’ll make the arrangements and call you back.”

“What? Did Landon.” Stunned, Zoe cared less about Preston’s misfortune than her own fate. She feared for herself now that Landon had dealt with Preston.

Landon seemed to be getting serious. Based on Zoe’s understanding of his character, she knew that this was just the start. He wouldn’t go easy on Preston, and that was the price one had to pay for hurting Lauren.
