"Have you thought about what I just said?"
Toby Dalton spoke up. "At this point, all I want is a safe place to live. I want to atone for my crimes. If I tell you what I know, I hope Your Excellency the Supreme Leader will grant me my freedom."
"I can grant you that, but whether others will is not something I can control. Tell me, how do you plan to atone for your crimes?"
"I wasn't the one who tried to assassinate you at the Fravian airport. It was Jonathan Bancroft. That assassination was years in the making."
"That's not really of any value to me. I know you're his man, so did you think I wouldn't figure out he was behind it? Don't underestimate my intelligence."
Toby Dalton continued, "I wasn't the mastermind behind the attack on your goddaughter and Quentin Grant's son. At most, I was just a supporting actor."
"Then who was it?"
"My ex-girlfriend, Saphira Sutton."
Lillian Bancroft pressed on, "Why would she do that?"
"..."
