"I've done the job, give me the money!" Daisy Lewis's voice came through the phone, instantly igniting all of Hayley's anger. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You useless fool, what did you accomplish? I told you to make a scene at their engagement banquet, to disgust them, to sow discord between them. Did you do it?"
"Why didn't you tell me Lucy Wells's dad is some kind of engineer?" Daisy Lewis, having nothing to lose, screamed desperately, "I'm telling you, give me the rest of the money quickly, or I'll tell Sophie Wilson that you arranged everything!"
"You're threatening me?" Hayley Cole narrowed her eyes and asked angrily in a low voice.
