"I... I need to see Ethan Lockwood. I have something extremely important to tell him. He has to make time for me, no matter how busy he is! Otherwise, he can just wait for Felix Preston to throw him in jail!"
Cecilia Quincy craned her neck, a fierce expression on her face as she threatened Silas Lawrence.
But Silas Lawrence just gave a disdainful smile. "Miss Cecilia, I know what you want to discuss with Mr. Lockwood. It is indeed a very important matter, but it's far too late to bring it up now. Mr. Lockwood can barely save himself, so how could he possibly have the energy to work with you?"
"...Barely save himself?" Cecilia Quincy's brow twitched, a sudden sense of panic washing over her. "What do you mean? How can Ethan Lockwood barely save himself?"
Silas Lawrence didn't answer her. Instead, he asked a question of his own. "Miss Cecilia, do you remember Robert Ford? The Robert Ford from the Preston Group."
