Back at the Lawrence family's manor, Jeanne made another call after Monica hung up on her.

"What a surprise that you called me." A teasing and sly voice came from the other end of the call.

"I want some eyes on Thedus Locke and I need some pictures of him," Jeanne said.

"Sure," the voice answered.

"And I want you to hasten the transfer to South Hampton."

"How fast are we talking about?"

"A week."

"You overestimated me."

"I just received the Lawrence family's company shares of five percent just now."

Jeanne was not in a negotiating mood.

"Great! Good job." The man was not stingy with his praise.

"Keep in touch."

"Wait."

Before Jeanne hung up the phone, the man held back.

"Mhmm?" Jeanne hummed.

"I heard that you met Fourth Master Swan during last night's charity ball." "You got the news already?" Jeanne ridiculed.

"Stay away from him," the man said seriously.

"I know."

"He's not a good man."

"Neither are you."

The man on the other end of the phone was silenced.

"At least I'm good to you."

"That's why I'm still working for you."

"Jeanne, aw..." The man sounded moved.

"That's it. I know what you want to say." Jeanne stopped the man immediately.
