"I heard it, alright." Andrew stroked her hair indulgently.

Easton looked like he had just swallowed a bug as he stared at the loving couple before him. He had moved into the Miller residence in hopes of swindling those shares from Athena, but Madelyn beat him to it. He cursed inwardly. Where had he gone wrong? Why had Madelyn's attitude changed so drastically?

Instead of answering his question, she asked, "You know what happened, don't you?"

"What?" Benson looked baffled.

"You knew Elena and Easton had been working together to deceive me, didn't you? And so did Andrew."

She took his silence as affirmation. A bitter smile curved her lips. All of them knew, even her best friend. She was the only one who had

Benson stiffened and followed her gaze.

Easton couldn't hear what Madelyn said to Benson, but he felt her dangerous gaze on him at that moment.
