A few minutes later, the vibration of a smartphone broke the silence in the car. Bagot, the bodyguard who had been with Brian for years, pulled out his phone and saw it was Madelyn calling. He hesitated before informing Brian in a hushed tone, “Mr. Howard, it’s a call from Ms. Harris…”

Brian couldn’t help but frown and muttered, “Hang it up.”
