460 Testing Waters

Grace had set fire to her ex-husband’s old house this time.

What a messed-up situation, and of course, it had to fall into his lap!

"I know what's going on," Carol said. "But today, I really got to see her acting skills firsthand. She can cry on command in an instant—what a waste she isn’t an actress."

……

Emily left the police station and headed straight to the Great Wall Group.

It had started to drizzle outside.

Strange weather. It's mid-winter, and instead of snow, it’s raining in New York.

When she entered the office, Ken was visibly surprised.

"Miranda? Are you feeling better?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, Dylan said you weren’t feeling well and needed to take a few more days off. Why are you here so soon? If you're still not well, you should rest. Don’t push yourself. I’ll help with company matters; you don’t have to overwork yourself."

Emily smiled warmly. The support from those around her always helped lift her spirits.

"Thanks, Ken."
