Chapter 1156 The Thief

• “I understand,” I interrupted Wanda. “Business is business. You can call me Ms. Stovall. You're here today as a witness to the fact that Ashton and I aren't colluding. Most of the time we are working separately on our own tasks. I will have Mrs. Eriksen clear a desk for you to work here.”

Lose a limb to save a life, as the saying went.
