Her Rebirth of Retribution

However, she didn't want to argue. In a nonchalant tone, she said, "Here's your black card. Consider it as compensation for the damage I've caused to the reputation of the Fairchild family." Inexplicably, a black card had been thrust into his hand, leaving Kallum at his wits' end.
