Just you wait. I'll sue you for defamation!" Aidan's warning came out in a venomous tone. "Who says there's no proof?" Scarlett appeared in the doorway, leaning on a crutch. One of her legs had been broken by Camila, but it wasn't permanent. With proper care, she could recover completely. She, like Martin, was still young.

"Maddie, Suzy's dog is throwing up again. I need to check on them real quick. Tell your mother I'm sorry I couldn't make it this time. Next time, I'll go with you to your hometown and meet her.

"You called me Mr. Jordan?" "Sorry for the suddenness of it, Ruby; I need your help," Mr. Jordan said nervously, pacing beside the fireplace. "A favor?" Ruby frowned. "Like what?" "In the southern region, the red wolf population is precarious, near extinction. Their main pack, called REDCA, is hiding something. After I traced it, the main pack has an illegal partnership with an evil witch named Madam Jenn," Mr. Jordan explained, "I've been carefully checking the witch's background secretly for a year now, and I've found out her purpose.
