I Owe the Tyrant Four Little Heirs novel Chapter 61

Carmen’s voice was buzzing with excitement. “Yes, of course, Mr. Bragg! Right away!”

“Mr. Bragg, you’ve made a brilliant decision. Niamh is sharp, diligent, and quick on her feet. She’s the perfect person to take over for Blaire.”

Jareth hung up the phone before she could finish, his expression souring even further. He’d been hearing that kind of praise all day, and it was starting to grate on him.
