Lucas began to explain, “Verena was kidnapped yesterday by an old business rival of mine. I couldn’t just do nothing.”

Despite his explanation, Harold’s face remained stern. He glared at Lucas and said coldly, “So, you just left Belinda alone by the pool? Do you know she can’t swim? Do you know that because you left, she fell into the pool and almost drowned?”
