Is it done by you 2?

Elder Lady Collins cast another glance at Patrick Taylor and said, "You surely understand the reasoning behind this, so I won't bother persuading you any longer. I've advised Charlotte about this matter too. When being advised, she always seems convinced by what you say and appears to agree that you're probably correct, but afterward, she tosses all that to the back of her mind."

"Now that we've reached a critical juncture, we naturally can't allow her to continue being capricious. You'll call her later and have her take the early flight back tomorrow. If she doesn't return, cancel all her cards, and tell her that if she can't make it back, she should never return at all. Just say it's my order."

When Elder Lady Collins showed her resolve, she was indeed capable of being truly ruthless.

Having heard this, Patrick naturally agreed, "Alright, I'll call Charlotte right away."

With that said, Patrick rose and went to his study.
