Marianne frowned. "Tess, what are you implying?"

Tessa nodded solemnly.

"You have to be extra careful from now on, Ms. Connors. You should also have bodyguards with you at all times. It's also best to keep Seline homeschooled for now. The person who kidnapped Seline was also one of James' men," Tessa advised her sternly.
