The man on the other end pinched the bridge of his nose, sounding mildly exasperated.


    “If you’re concerned about your reputation, I can assist you next time.


    But if Pierson declines, my hands are tied.

    “Fine! If you won’t help me, I’ll handle it on my own!” Victoria snapped, hanging up in frustration without waiting for a reply.


    She clenched her phone tightly and pivoted to push the door open, but someone from inside beat her to it, walking out.


    Hannah and Victoria came face-to-face.


    Victoria’s expression soured, and she turned to force the door open.

    Recalling the photos they’d snapped earlier, Victoria’s resolve hardened.


    “Edit those photos right away and post them online! I want her to suffer immensely!”


    Sadie’s eyes shimmered wickedly as she nodded in agreement.


    “Consider it done, Victoria.


    She won’t even know what hit her!”
