Willard paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts before responding in a calm tone, “Everyone’s eyeing this opportunity, so it’s natural to hear rumors.”

Milo hadn’t expected the conversation to take this turn. But as he thought back to the way Charmaine had spoken about the situation, and the secretive actions of Bennett over the years, he felt a stronger sense of trust in her.
