Grant asked, "Who?"

"Yvonne! It must be Yvonne!" Clarice gritted her teeth in fury. "She's been with Christopher for years. She must have heard things about me. She's even met you a few times in Meridan.

Grant appeared slightly weary. "Your concern is not unfounded. However, I don't have the time or energy to waste on such irrelevant people right now."

"Sir, please leave it to me!" Clarice kneeled before him, gripping his hand tightly in hers." That vile woman is mine to deal with. Whatever it takes, no matter the cost, I will protect you and ensure you claim everything that rightfully belongs to you!"

She smirked and was about to take a sip when Asher suddenly appeared.

His large hand covered the rim of her glass. "Bella, the doctor told you-no alcohol for a month. Did you forget?"
