Arnold’s eyes betrayed his sense of guilt, and after a brief pause, he retorted, “Legal or not, it doesn’t change anything. We’re not responsible for the rumors and strings being pulled against you.”Norah, though disappointed by the lack of a clearer admission, pressed on, “Arnold, if it’s not your family, then who else could be behind this?

I need to do this alone, please.”The bodyguard, apologetic yet serious, replied, “I understand, but your husband insisted on this, and I have to do my job, ma’am.”Determination across her face, she turned to the bodyguard by her side. “I appreciate that, but I need to talk to Arnold alone. Please wait outside.”The bodyguard, firm in his duty, shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Griffins. Your husband instructed me to accompany you inside and everywhere, no matter what you say. I can’t deviate from my orders.”Disbelief reflected in Norah’s eyes. “Charles told you to follow me
