Anything For Her

Cynthia brought Queenie to her younger brother, Jason’s law firm.

“You must help me, Uncle Jason. I can’t go to prison! I have plans to join the national team.” I would have even less of a chance with Cyro if I were in prison.

Jason asked for a brief understanding of the situation.

“All right,” he said with brisk confidence when she was done, “I think I got it. I’m a pretty famous lawyer, you know. You won’t be going to prison.”

Having founded his law firm after graduating from university, Jason had been unbeatable ever since.

He did not take an insignificant conflict between high school students seriously.

“You’re the best, Uncle Jason.” Queenie hugged him coyly.

“I have work to do,” Jason announced, too busy to chat with them. “It would be best if you go home first. Let me handle it.”

When the women emerged from the office, Queenie threw the card given to her by Sophie into the trash.

“I don’t care who Sophie hires,” she declared haughtily, “nobody will do anything to me with my uncle here.”

Who does Sophie think she is? Other than Josiah, none of the Tanners treat her as family. I have pull in Horington and can hire any lawyer I want. Does she think that I am so easily intimidated?

Sophie personally sent Josiah back to the Tanner residence.

“I want you to tell me no matter what happens to you, Soph,” Josiah said distressedly. “Do you understand? I can’t bear the thought of you facing it all alone.”

How has my poor Soph suffered in my absence!

“I won’t allow myself to be stepped on, Grandpa. I have been too foolish in the past, and I won’t be allowing anybody to hurt me again.”

Josiah felt another twinge of pain at her words and pulled her close to him.

“Let me find you somebody you can lean on, Soph.” I know I don’t have much longer to live. What will happen to her when I die?

“Don’t worry about me, Grandpa. I can take care of myself. Your well-being is more important to me.”
