Now that Andrew was finally out of the picture, the suffocating frustration she had been feeling for weeks seemed to lift, and she was in a much better mood.

Meanwhile, Christina was on a call with Owen Maloney from Wealthroller Investments.

"Mr. Maloney, this is Christina Stevens. I was wondering if I could possibly speak with Mr. Yates... if he has a moment?"
