Roland pulled out a crisp white handkerchief and leisurely wiped the traces of Leonard's grip from his hand. With a polite smile, he said, "Leonard, please inform your boss that Ms. Sutherland and I are leaving now."

"And as for her?"

"Keep an eye on her, but let her be. She truly thinks Roland and the Lockwood family are easy to handle?"

"Yes, sir."
