Claire was short of words and didn't know what to say. Charlotte was nothing but a parasite. She has fed off her when she was daring Henry Walker then. Henry would send her a substantial amount of money each time he visited but now that she needed her mother's help, she was proving too hard to crack. " Benjamin is involved in some kind of trouble. The money is not for me so don't you think for a minute this has to do with me. We need to get him out of this mess or this will come back to hunt both of us."
