At that moment Everyone's eyes burst open in shock.
For the first time since their embarrassing loss, a ray of hope illuminated the room.
This could work. This would work.
They couldn't believe Ramos had fixed the loophole so quickly—and what a perfect one it was.
Without being told they could tell Abigail's husband had married her in urgency, the deal between them wouldn't be that great.
There was simply no way he did it for love. It was all about cash.
And if cash was what it took to move him, then all they had to do was offer him something bigger—
Something finer. And—most of all—something right away, he wouldn't be able to reject.
Because there was no way Abigail could ever offer him a big chunk of cash right away.
No. She was recovering.
She was still fragile.
She would have no time to defend herself or think of a new plan if they attack now.
At that moment Mrs. Penelope let out a slow breath, her sharp eyes now filled with planned intentions.
