"Calm down? How can I possibly calm down? One hundred million dollars, gone because of Isabel!" Laurel was beside herself with rage, as if Isabel had torn a part of her soul away.

Eva stepped in, trying to defuse the situation. "Mom, please stop. They have bodyguards. If you act like this, you'll just end up being thrown out again, like last time."
