Chapter 42 Chapter 42: “You fainted,” Skye lied without blinking. She took a sip of her coffee. “Grandmother’s soup didn’t agree with you. You collapsed right as we came in. It was quite dramatic. I spent the night monitoring your breathing to make sure you didn’t swallow your tongue p>

Chapter 29 Chapter 29: “The distraction worked,” Skye said. “Arthur is terrified. He thinks I’m calling the SEC. While he’s panicking, move the Sterling Trust assets to the offshore account. Now p> “Done, Miss Sterling,” the banker replied. Skye hung up. She looked back at the Manor. She had used
