Grace waved her hand, signaling her to stop talking, and whispered, “Hear me out. Attlee is too easily influenced; he always listens to Olga, and Olga doesn't like you. They can’t do business for nuts; if they get their hands on my assets, they'll blow it all.” That was indeed true. Attlee and Olga were awful at business.

“There are two more gifts.” These two were actually from Arabella.
Grace was surprised and delighted. “More?” “This is a senior—friendly phone.” Arabella had set it up for her; the apps were straightforward and easy to use: “Tap here to contact me.” “This is great! This is great!” Grace was missing something to keep in touch with Arabella. “I've got to hide this so Olga and the others don't find it.” “There's also a bracelet; it suits you well.” It was a piece of premium gemstone. Arabella thought it matched Grace's temperament perfectly. She picked it out herself, designed it, and had it made into this bracelet. Its value exceeded that of the bracelet she gave before.
