S21 76. Big Trouble

Barbara took a glance. Seeing Philip a small hiss escaped her mouth. “You got the news too?”

Philip let out a faint sigh. His head shook. His hand rose towards her arm. “Whatever people say out there… you don’t need to listen to it.”

solve it?”

Frank nodded. “Let Daddy and Mommy handle company matters. You guys just focus on Barbara.”
