“Mr. Guerra, even though I’m your secretary, as a womarl, I can’t help but feel more sympathy for Mrs.. Guerra.”

Carol had initially planned to share the details with him, and upon hearing his request, truthfully relayed, “After you left with Mrs. Guerra, everything at Thorne Constructions and Energies was fine, except… Ms. Thorne had returned to the hospital.”

A brief silence echoed from the other end of the line, a testament to Josiah’s effort to suppress his rising anger. When he finally spoke, his voice had turned considerably colder. “What is she planning to do this
