When Lisa dropped that bombshell, both Clyde and I were taken aback.

Her words lingered in my mind. Although Talbot was a scoundrel, I didn't think he would dare lay a finger on me.

But clearly, Clyde wasn't on the same page. His face had turned a shade darker.

Lisa didn't stick around. Her mood evidently soured as she left.

I, on the other hand, couldn't shake off her warning. It seemed Talbot was indeed desperate for cash.

I turned to Clyde and said, 'You're pretty slick, you know? You make a good case for yourself."

"That's not what matters," he said, his voice taking on a rare edge of seriousness. "What matters is that you need to be careful."

I looked at him, puzzled. "Why?"

"Because of the trust fund," he said, as if that explained everything.

I was even more confused.
