Viola stomped down the stairs, seething with anger. Dealing with Cass seemed like an insurmountable task. She needed him to be reviled so he would have no other option but to come back.

Yesterday, Viola had lost yet another maid, and all the agencies refused to send her any help. Word had spread about her strict demeanor.

Desperate, Viola tried calling Dr. Levisay, but he didn't answer. She knew that he would agree to anything she asked, including lending her some of his staff. But for the first time, he didn't respond to her calls.

Furthermore, after talking to Claudia, she discovered that Isaiah had tried to have Cass killed. She made it clear that she only wanted his reputation destroyed, not his life.

Viola had witnessed the love and adoration people had for Cass. They sympathized with him because of his past. If he had given her name, she might have had him killed.
