"She has never repaid us with anything. It's only fair she helps the Shaw family now," Jade's biting words floated to Winter, who was surprised but kept listening.

"What's there to think about? Don't forget about the Yorks..."

"Enough. I've got to figure out how to bring Noelle back home!" Julian glared at Jade. "I know you don't like her, but do you think I do? Dad's no fool, and he knows what's going on."

Jade stopped talking, though she was clearly upset. She could not help but take her anger out on Noelle.
