"You gotta find a way to stop Brandon from digging deeper," Dennis said.

Marian looked at him in disbelief, "How on earth am I supposed to stop Brandon? I'm nothing to him; why would he ever listen to me?"

"Why not? You're the daughter of the Frost family. The Frosts and the Crawleys are both blue-blooded families with tight bonds. You and Brandon were childhood sweethearts, heck, didn't he look for you for like nearly two decades? His folks are fond of you too. These are all cards in your hand, you gotta play them."

So even after you recognized the Frost family these past years, I never thought about using you to get back at Brandon. But this time, I'm truly out of options; only you can help me now."

"I can't, Dad. I just can't."

Without Brandon to steady the Starlight ship, coupled with the media onslaught, it was sure to flounder, and then he could swoop in for the kill.
