If we want to win the Turner family over, we have no choice but to use our trump card on this one.”
Cyrus tapped the table and toyed with the ashtray.
A trace of confusion flashed across Lucinda’s eyes.

“It’s all right. I’ll take a commercial flight. There should still be a flight or two for Gliethien.” Lucinda gathered her coat and a few essentials and added, “Make sure to take care of things while I’m gone. Get more bodyguards to secure the perimeter of the villa.”
“Yes, yes, I know already!”
Cyrus could only sigh as he watched her disappear into the night.
