Baker's tone softened but remained firm. “Kylee, we don’t get a second shot at this. We can’t rush things. Every
move has to be precise, calculated. One misstep, and it all falls apart. Worse, we risk drawing suspicion from the
Soling family. You need to understand, I'm even more anxious about this than you are. But in critical moments
like this, we have to stay calm. No reckless or hasty moves. Got it?”
He watched her closely, worried she might let emotion override caution.
Kylee gave a solemn nod. “Alright. | understand, Dad.”

Lucas’ fingers tensed slightly on the steering wheel. He didn’t answer right away.
To be honest, he had no desire to have a meal with Darwin. But if they kept postponing it, Darwin would just

“Alright. | am free tomorrow night,” Lucas replied.
“Wonderful, then I'll send Darwin a message later to reply to him,” Belinda said with a nod.
After a thoughtful pause stretched between them, she seemed to think of something. “By the way, Lucas, there's

better if Faye returned to the family house. | plan to tell her to move back there tonight, and then we can drive
her there. What do you think?”

amused smile to grace his features.

“That won't be necessary at all,” he said.
Belinda found herself completely caught off guard and prepared to voice her confusion when Lucas continued, “I
already told Faye to move out this morning. She's already settled back at the house.”
Belinda broke into a smile. “It turns out we've been thinking about the sthing.”
