Vivienne nodded in agreement. “It’s puzzling. Why did F-Poison tell Flynn about my mom being taken? Was there anything else he mentioned?”

“Yeah, the higher-ups say the surveillance footage involving Gillian doesn’t prove much. They’re calling it a professional mishap, gave her a mark on her record, and she’s back.”

Through the phone, Thomas could feel Percival’s anger but continued, “However, Vance has stripped Gillian of her authority. She shouldn’t be causing trouble anymore, or at least, she’s lost the capacity to do so.”

Percival took a breath. “Fine, I got it.”
