“Great idea.


    I believe I’ve made rules for such situation.


    Clive, what do we do to people like Chauncey again?”


    “Kick him out, put him on the cklist, and send word to other organizations,” Clive blurted out without thinking.


    “There we have it, then.


    See that it is done.


    And make sure you behave yourselves in the future.


    The rules are irond.


    ”


    Franklyn finally raised his head and tried to plead with Hannah.


    “Boss! Despite Chauncey’s mistakes, he has done us a great service over the years! If we let him go like this, it won’t look good in front of the other men.


    ”


    Hannah stood up and cast an indifferent look at Franklyn.


    “Do you know why I chose you to be my second-inmand?” Her next words were spoken slowly and with great emphasis.

    “Because you are smart, loyal, and decisive.


    But if you keep acting like this, I’m afraid I will have to rece you.


    ”


    “Miss Moore!” Chauncey cried out.


    “I understand that you are the big boss around here, but Franklyn did a good job managing the operations in your absence.


    If you want me gone, I’ll dly leave, but please don’t punish him “Chauncey!” Franklyn had the nagging feeling that something was not right, and he desperately wanted his subordinate to shut his mouth.


    Hannah sighed to herself.


    She had initially wanted to do Franklyn a favor and protect his reputation.


    She could have easily tied up the loose ends in private.


    But since things hade to this, she saw no point in going easy on her opponent.


    “You sure learned a lot from the people at Enchantment Casino, huh?


    Like how to sow discord among longtime business partners.


    ”


    Chauncey froze in shock, though he quicklyposed himself.


    “I’m not sure I know what you mean, Miss Moore…”


    Hannah whipped out her phone and, with a single click of her thumb, sent the information she had found to both Clive’s and Franklyn’s numbers.


    “I wasn’t expecting to catch you so soon, but I suppose I overestimated your cunning.


    Did you think you can do everything as you please just because you have ess to this ce?”


    Clive’s eyes grew wide as saucers as he read the message Hannah had sent him.


    When he was done, he was fuming.


    He almost threw his phone on the floor.


    “Chauncey, you…” Clive stared at the man in utter disbelief.


    As for Franklyn, his shoulders slumped lower as he digested thepiled information.


    Chauncey took in both men’s reactions and thought that Hannah had framed him in some way.


    He held his chin high and said, “Surely, there’s no need to nder me, Miss Moore.


    If you want me to leave so badly, I’ll go right now.


    ”


    “You were told to leave minutes ago, but you stayed,” Hannah said, her tone icy.


    “You think you can just run away now?”
