The call was from her mother-in-law, Judith Pierce.

"Chloe, are you at the Civil Affairs Bureau?" Judith Pierce’s voice was edged with urgency.

Chloe Reed’s grip on her pen tightened. "Yes, Mom," she answered.

Did you think we were never coming back and wouldn’t get involved in family matters anymore?" Judith Pierce was furious and hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
