Chapter 32 Advantageous V

• Judge’s [POV]
• Paolo has been working for my family for a long time. I know exactly the outbuilding he spoke of and why he mentioned it. And I know Mercedes well enough to know if she’s told she can’t do something, she will do just that. It’s her nature, and I need to protect her from herself.
• I walk through the woods to the building. I want to be sure that she can’t get in there. How did she even find it? It’s a hike from the house.
