Kayla was at a loss for words, simply sitting quietly to the side, holding Clyde's hand.

Meanwhile, I was patiently waiting for the lawyer to get everything sorted out. The legal department at Patterson Group was top-notch, so dealing with these kinds of issues was a piece of cake for them.

Vinson stood up instantly. "No need, I'll go get it."

"If you're having a sugar low, you should always carry some candy with you. Just pop one if you feel faint."
