Chapter 800:
They hurried to the underground parking lot. Allison glanced at Mollie, concern etched on her features. “Are you
sure you're okay handling this without Mr. Blake's help?” Mollie's reply was laced with a hint of steel. “Don’t
worry. If | were in Charles’ position, I'd not only handle it—I'd thrive. He, however, wouldn't last a day in my
