"Or what? You want me to call Ruthless to help you?" Nina lifted her chin, her defiant little expression delighting Abigail.
Abigail reached out and ruffled Nina's hair, chiming in while keeping her eyes fixed forward, "Why don't I give Ruthless a call for you right now?"
The two of them teaming up was a devastatingly effective attack. Ronan immediately lost his composure. He had snuck into Aethelburg; if that guy Ruthless found out, he'd probably come right over and drag him back. He was here to lie low. If he got caught and taken back, he'd be in for a world of trouble.
"Master, look at this married couple, ganging up on me all by my lonesome." Ronan twisted around to complain to Seraphina Ashworth, who was sitting on the sofa.
Seraphina Ashworth had just finished reading the documents in her hand. A faint smile graced her clear eyes. "They're not wrong. You could always ask Ruthless to come. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to help."
