"Simon, I didn't know before either, it's all that woman's fault, coming out of nowhere and ruining my plans. Simon... I don't care, you have to save me this time!"
"Save you with what? Even if I plug the seventy-five-million loan loophole for you, what about hiring a murderer? Rowena Gray, you really have some nerve to even do something like hiring a murderer!"
"No, I didn't!" Hearing Simon Taylor mention hiring a murderer, Rowena Gray suddenly clung to it like a lifeline.
"Simon, I'm being falsely accused! You have to believe me, I never hired anyone to kill!"
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, go tell the judge, don't tell me. The other side has conclusive witnesses and evidence; whatever sophistry you use will be useless!" Simon Taylor said cuttingly.
He was genuinely infuriated by Rowena Gray's stupidity; if Rowena really were to be convicted for hiring a murderer, it would be Mrs. Taylor who hired the murderer.
