Gwendolyn's mentor was none other than the renowned Enoch! Howard must have gotten wind of something in his rural hideaway, confident enough to turn the tables in a dazzling comeback.
"Leak the news of Gwendolyn's injury. Bainbridge must have his moles in the hospital." "Got it." Nathan knew what he meant, which was to give Bainbridge a temporary thrill.

Bainbridge's tone was curt, "The worst he'll get is a few years and you've paid himchalt a million. Unless he's a total fool, he'll know to take the hit." He believed that Bill wouldn't confess.
Vivien felt somewhat reassured, pressing on, "Bainbridge, where are you? Can we..." "I'm busy, gotta go." Hanging up hastily, Bainbridge returned his attention to the enticing Fanny beneath him, who coaxed him with laughter.
"Let's see how I deal with you," he growled playfully.
"Con then." Her voice was teasing, inviting.
But before they could resume, Fanny's phone rang again. It was Vivien, persistent as ever.
