Jenna smacked Adler on the back of his head. "The elders from the Aldridge family were here earlier. They want Sophie's private seal back. I've called you a million times, why didn't you pick up?"

Adler rubbed the back of his head. "It's not like I didn't want to. It was Colby..." He glanced at Colby and then sheepishly corrected himself. "It was the Costello family meeting. I had my phone on silent. I didn't mean to ignore your calls." "Next time you don't answer, you're dead meat!"

"Alright, alright! It won't happen again!" Adler quickly agreed.

Colby chimed in, "Looks like everything's sorted out."

"Sorted out? Then what's with this guy?" Adler pointed to Timothy, who was lying on the ground. "Why's this guy napping here in the middle of the day?"

"I knocked him out," Sophie said. "I was worried he might overhear something he shouldn't, so I used a bit of force."

"That doesn't look like 'a bit' of force." Adler looked at the bruises on Timothy's neck. That hit could make a tiger tremble.
