Brainstorm any ways Twatgobblin could mess with Madi or Elle.
“Ha, knew Twatgobblin was a catchy one.” Cian chuckles to himself, but I ignore him.
Create good press for Sunshine Studios.
Remind everyone who the fuck Omni-Reyes Media is.
“Am I missing anything?” I ask.
Savvy leans into my space, her scent enveloping me in gentle calmness.
“Jesus,” she mutters. “That’s quite the list. Where do we even start?”
Looking up, I find Braxton and Cian already staring at me. A silent conversation carries between us. It says: We’ll do whatever it takes.
“I can’t believe I’m about to say this.” I slip my hand into the pocket of my pants and squeeze my lucky coin. “But I think we should call in the Harrington brothers. At least get their take on it and see what they suggest.”
“Good call.” Braxton hums. “That should cover items one through three on your list, and potentially four, five, and six too.”
I stare down at the numbers he recited and nod.
“Number five is obvious,” Madi scoffs.
“But why would she do it?” Clover asks.
Savvy shifts beside me. “I think she’s made it clear her reasoning capabilities recently are severely lacking.”
“Bargain-bin Barbie.” I can’t believe that name has come out of my mouth more than once already.
Savvy shrugs. “She suddenly shows up in designer clothes, acting like queen bee? It’s almost too obvious.”
“How would Riley have known to go to her though? If he was digging around Happiness for any amount of time, someonewould have spoken up.” Moose says, sitting thoughtfully in the corner, but I can tell how much this upsets him.
Happiness is a community, a family, and in Happiness, Georgia, no one screws around with family.
“Knowing what I know now of Happiness, Moose is right,” Brax says. “If they’d been nosing around, searching for someone to turn, people would’ve gotten suspicious.”
“Unless they already had someone close by. Someone who’s been watching from the sidelines and already knew the weakest players.” Madi’s lips purse as she stares at me as though she expects me to come to the same conclusion she obviously has.
Madi has always gotten a weird vibe from Quinn.Braxton’s words smack me in the face.
Quinn has been coming here for almost a year, helping the transition of our company from California to Georgia go smoothly. She’s the most likely culprit, but why?
“You think it’s Quinn,” I say. The corner of Madi’s eye twitches as the words leave my lips.
“Or someone she’s been working closely with.” Madi’s a spitfire who doesn’t back down from a fight. The expression she flashes my way tells me she’ll fight for Savvy the same way I’d fight for Braxton. “I refuse to believe it’s a coincidence that all the shitty reporters were assigned to Savvy at the golf tournament. That was deliberate, and you all know it.”
“Kristen.” Her name slips through clenched teeth like a curse. “She’s been working for Omni-Reyes since before your wedding.”
