"Hey, Anya," Mary's voice came through the phone, slightly muffled. "I've got so news. I spoke to my contacts at Steele Bank, and they've agreed to help us move the money soon."

Anya's eyes lit up, a look of realization crossing her mind as she I sigh of relief. "That's fantastic, Mary. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me."

Mary chuckled. "It's no problem, Anya. It was just a few phone calls. But hey, are you okay? Last time we talked, you seemed to have started quarreling with him, your husband, are you okay?

Anya was glad she had found this out during a family gathering when Daniel was absent.

Mary brushed it off. "Hmm, must have been a mistake then. Anyway, I'll let you get back to your day. Take care, Anya."

"Thanks, Mary. You too." Anya hung up the phone, a frown forming on her face. She turned to Daniel, who was watching her with a frown.
