The words had only just left Mr. Jackson’s mouth when Leanna came down the stairs.

Mr. Jackson beckoned toward her. “Come, come. Have a seat.”

Lloyd laughed. “Gina was a little immature. I’ve already reprimanded her for her actions.”

Naturally, Mr. Jackson noticed that Lloyd was reluctant to speak the truth, so he turned to glare at the servant standing behind Lloyd and instructed sharply, “You! Tell me!”
