At a cafe,
Aveline crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair. She gracefully took a sip of her steaming cup of coffee and set the cup back on the table.
Alaric shook his head in resignation. Her soft voice could fool anyone. Despite sitting directly across from her, he almost believed she was genuinely feeling bad for Damien.
"That's it?" He probed, wondering if her plan for the day was complete.
She smiled, so sly, so tempting. Her gaze shifted to the woman who had just entered the cafe.
Alaric followed her line of sight and spotted her.
Clara Reeve, Damien's personal lawyer. She walked in wearing crisp business attire, her presence commanding respect and space naturally.
Clara wasn't only helping Damien bury his illegal actions, but she had also concealed her illicit dealings with Ashford Globals.
Alaric had gathered evidence against Clara for Aveline. After getting a clear look, he identified her easily.
