The Woman From Hell

Ronny shook his head. "We have no conditions."

I was a little stunned.

"In fact, we don't intend to make any deals with you." Ronny explained, "It's because we know you'll never hand over the custody to us."

"That was Mr. Grant's idea."

Ronny did not explain further, but I already understood.

"Mr. Hodds reminded us to be frank with you and tell you everything without reservation."

I sneered. Was this some sort of trick? Not wanting to listen further, I got up. "That's enough. I know enough. I'm going back first."
