Horace, whats going on? Why the urgency to bring Sierra back?
Seeing Rita putting on an act, Fulton sneered and briefly recounted the situation.
Rita remarked, So, its all speculation. No concrete evidence proving Bradys actions are tied to Sierra, and Brady hasnt confessed, right?
Fulton, harboring no fondness for Rita, opted for silence. Standing up, he addressed Horace, I believe youre well-informed. I wont say more. If you think the Garrett family still holds some influence, please manage to help Brady. We will definitely return the favor someday. If you believe my family is declining, and youd rather not be associated with us, Ill take my leaving now.
Oh, what are you talking about? Horace, brushing off Fultons dramatics, stood up and reassured, Dont worry. Ill manage to help Brady. You can head back. Ill update you as soon as I have any news.

Fulton smiled appreciatively.
Youre a reasonable man. The Fowler family thrives under your leadership.
His words carried a subtle implication.
After Fulton departed, Rita approached Horace with concerns.
Are you really going to bring Sierra back? I dont think shes involved. It might be Brady whos behind all this.
Why did Sierra run away if it had nothing to do with her? Horace snorted, casting a glance at Rita.
The weathers taken a turn lately.
Take good care of Nicol. The rest? You neednt lose sleep over it.
But Sierras my cousin, Rita said, eyes welling up.

Back in my hometown, my brother was my savior. He handed me the good stuff and shielded me from my ex-husbands abuse. If it werent for him, escaping that disastrous marriage wouldve been impossible. If something happens to Sierra, Ill bear the guilt.
I get it. You value family ties. Youre afraid you fail to take good care of Sierra for your big brother. But, darling, if youre looking out for Sierra, you shouldnt have always covered her up like this. I wouldnt have known she swiped someone elses work if Fulton hadnt told me.
Horace glanced at Ritas delicate face, reminiscing about their first encounter. Recalling Rita had been through some tough times, his tone remained firm, but there was a noticeable softening.
With tears in her eyes, Rita played the coquette.
She did do something wrong. I have already taught her a Lesson. If you can help her sort this mess, Ill lay down the law and ask her to behave herself in the coming days. Horace, can you help her out this time?
Horaces demeanor softened, and he gently patted Ritas shoulder.
I can lend a hand this time, but she better heed my advice moving forward.
Rita, taken aback, cautiously asked, What do you mean?
Horace met her gaze and explained, I havent made up my mind yet.
Test assured I wont harm her. I just wont let her loaf around at my place causing trouble.
