The event went smoothly. We made some pledges for the local orphanage and the youth art club in town. We liked to invest in things like that. Youth empowerment was crucial to keep the city safe from crime and disturbance, so we never hesitated to pump money into such programs. We got up to mingle with the other guests. I did not know when Janes's ex-husband Brad walked to where I was. The look on his face did not look friendly at all. If anything, It looked hostile. Before he approached, I wondered, other than being with Jane, why would he have an angry scowl on his face, then I remembered Jane had called him when the N.B.I arrested her, and we were out of town. He had helped get her stuff and move out of our apartment. I did not want to cause a scene, so I linked James to follow me. I moved to an isolated part of the hall where no one could hear our discussion. I honestly did not want to get into a fight. James and I would have to ignore it with all our might.
