The call was loud enough for Benjamin, Janie, and the staff on the gold court to hear. Embarrassing to say the least, but Evelyn couldn’t care less. Her priority was to find out what was going on, but no matter how much she racked her brains, she couldn’t figure out who she crossed.

She hadn’t met too many people since she took over business on this side. The first person she met was Abel. Wait a minute. Realization struck her, and a chill ran down her spine. Emmeline? Abel did say she’s some sort of super powerful woman. But what did he say? I don’t really remember. No way. I’ve looked into her case.
