The Divorce Prescription

Carly was frantic. "I'm not standing you up! My dad came home, and something

unexpected happened here."

"Ms. Hampton, how do we know you're telling the truth? You promised to give us

more money, but you haven't increased the amount, and you haven't shown up

either. What's the meaning of this?"

Carly said, "I will give you more money, just not right now. Alright, stop making a

fuss. It's already dark. My dad should be asleep. I'll head over now."

"Alright, Ms. Hampton. Let's hope you actually show up this time."

"How's the old lady and the kid?"

"They're fine. Without your orders, we wouldn't dare lay a hand on them."

Carly was actually furious. If these people hadn't brought Grace into the picture,

none of this trouble would've happened. She could've easily dealt with Bella.

her way downstairs, silently opened the front door, and tried to slip out.

waiting outside.

"Ms. Hampton!"

Carly jumped in shock. "What are you all doing here?"
