Jercouldn't believe his eyes when he caught Mrs. Bernice Madden, the matriarch of the family, accusing Andrea of being a troublemaker. And what was this? Lizetta, the golden grandchild, was apparently the one filling her grandmother's head with all kinds of nonsense.

"Listen, Andrea, we cto Zion City not for a vacation but to get Grandpa the best treatment from Dr. Wen. With Grandpa out, it's even more important you look after Grandma," he said, his voice dipping with a hint of annoyance.

Tears welled up in Andrea's eyes, "Grandma, how could you say that? You used to adorebefore you got sick. Why are you always againstnow?"

As Jerwas about to leave, Andrea yelped in pain. Her hair had gotten tangled in Jerome's sapphire cufflinks. "Hold still, I'll get it," he said, leaning in close, his minty cologne enveloping her, causing her to blush.

"I'm surprised Mr. Dashiell would call me," Jermused, answering the phone with a hint of sarcasm in his En voice. "Liz is in trouble. I was hoping Mrs.

Madden could visit the Dashiell estate to see her. Is it a good time?"Remington's voice was hoarse, a sign of desperation. It was unlike him to seek help, especially from a rival. Just days ago, he had 10
