Boss Hall said with a placating smile, "Miss Ross, I'm terribly sorry. It was Miss Bishop who brought them in."
Rowan Ross's eyes widened in feigned surprise. "Miss Bishop? Oh, you mean my cousin?"
"Yes, that's right. Miss Bishop brought them in. Otherwise, we never would have let them in."
Upon hearing Rowan Ross's words, Una Sullivan breathed a sigh of relief. 'So she's EnoEleanor's cousin. That makes us all family, so everything should be fine now, right?'
But just as she relaxed, Rowan Ross's icy voice cut in again. "Boss Hall, I assume you haven't heard the news yet?"
"What news?"
"The Bishop Family is no longer what it once was. It seems... this place isn't quite suitable for members of the Bishop Family anymore."
Boss Hall looked at Rowan Ross, troubled. "Miss Ross, I..."
Rowan Ross sneered and took a step closer to Boss Hall. "Boss Hall, every elite family in Tridell is avoiding the Bishop Family right now. Surely you don't want to get caught in the crossfire?"
