The incident earlier in the day was something Linsey could easily brush off, as it had meant nothing to her However, the afternoon's events were serious-Flavia had almost caused someone's death.
Although Linsey was not fond of Gorman, she had never wished harm upon him.
"Understood, Mrs. Riley," the assistant replied, forcefully pulling Flavia away.
With Flavia's guilt confirmed, Linsey allowed herself a moment of relief.
