For years, Sandra had been a thorn in Keira's side, but never had Keira reacted with such visible distress.

Well, if you want it back, your allowance for next month won't cut it. Patrick's been eyeing a sports car lately, not too pricey, just around half a million. Get me that money, and you can have your precious hairpin back."

Two months ago, after a leg injury, Morwenna had called Keira's parents on her behalf. Too busy to deal with it themselves, they'd immediately transferred two hundred thousand to her.

At her brother's birthday gala last month, she'd danced the opening number despite her still-healing leg. The Phillips family, proud of the performance, had deposited another two hundred thousand into her account.
