Emma knew that to persuade Andrew, she needed to employ every tool in her arsenal. As she entered Andrew’s sleek office, she let her charm shine through. “Mr. Garner, I’ve admired your work for a long time, and I believe more partnerships between our companies could be incredibly beneficial,” she purred, her voice laced with a seductive undertone.

Andrew, a veteran in the business world, raised an eyebrow but maintained a composed façade. “I’ve heard such proposals before, Miss Adams. What makes yours different?”

    As Norah braced herself for the conversation with Mary Adams, her phone buzzed with an incoming call. Charles’s name illuminated the screen, and she swiftly answered, expecting a routine check-in.“Norah, abandon the mission.

    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 find the truth, for both our sakes you see.”Arnold, seemingly unwilling to provide more information, clenched his jaw. “I don’t know, Norah.

    Norah stood outside the prison facility, frustration drawn across her features. Determined to speak with Arnold Adams alone, she turned to the bodyguard at her side, "Wait outside.

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.
