She started playing violin when she was little and got some big accolades overseas, which contributed to her haughty, arrogant attitude. Everyone knows she has a short temper. My men got me that intel, so there shouldn’t be any false information.

Just when Elspeth was wondering how she should deal with Jethro’s cousin, he came to stand beside her. “You’re spacing out. Are you scared of my cousin?”

“No. Why would I?”

“Oh, so that means you’re nervous.” Jethro bent over and noticed the frown on her face. Then, he chuckled. “I see you’ve heard of her attitude problem.”
