"Oh, my goodness... It's been far too long. I'm glad to finally meet you." Vera shook his hand, her voice slightly trembling. "Mr Dallas, it's a pleasure to meet you too. I've heard so much about you." Almost immediately, Donald heard his phone ring, so he decided to leave the sitting room to pick up his phone call. Mr. Dallas chuckled softly. "Ah, the tales of old, I presume. Your parents and I were dear friends." Mr Dallas said, shifting his gaze from Vera to Mr and Mrs Jeff. "This is a daughter of the Smith family - the Smiths I told you about, who are yet to fulfil their obligations." Mr Jeff was responding so much to

"Dub," Judith began, her voice filled with conviction, "I have an idea that might just work. We need to break Jude and Amelia's relationship, so that Amelia could return to you, and I believe a staged appearance could provide the evidence we need.We'll create a scenario where you and Amelia are together, in a compromising position, and then discreetly capture photos to share with Jude."Dub's eyes widened in surprise, and a mix of uncertainty and intrigue danced in his gaze.
