"From the looks of it, yes. And that's where my plan comes in. If anyone, whoever wrote this articles, is expecting a late response from you, mother anger, internal family crisis, things like that that can act as a ton of delay, giving them the opportunity to capitalize on it," She glanced between her parents as she added her last point.
