At that moment, upon hearing what Malisa just said, Cora's expression shifted instantly. Her brows drew close, and without thinking, she shot up from her seat like the name had lit a fire underneath her.
"Wait… wait are you talking about Mr. B?" she asked in disbelief, eyes wide, her voice filled with a mix of surprise and urgency.
Malisa gave a slow, confirming nod. "Yes. Mr. B."
Cora's heart skipped a beat. Mr. B? Of all people?
Her voice came out sharp now. "So… what do you have on him?" Her fingers tightened into a fist. "Please tell me it's something good. Something solid. Something we can finally use against that snake."
Malisa took a deep breath. She could see how much Cora wanted this. How much she needed a win. And Malisa was ready to deliver but not in this situation.
