“I will wrap things up here as soon as possible and try to return earlier. I will also arrange bodyguards for your family and yourself,” Owen said.

“That will not be necessary,” Hailey refused. “I can handle it myself. Besides, they are my family–I should be the one to take care of them.”

Casey looked incredibly pale, her expression weary and drained of energy.
