Chapter 1258:
“Trent Seymour doesn’t have tfor this kind of thing,” Kevin said, testing his luck. “He won't get involved.”
Alan raised a brow. “Then | guess we'll find out in court—won’t we?”

got her fired.” His voice was soft, but his face said everything. He didn’t like Kevin. Not one bit.
“It's okay,” Nina said gently. “If she lost her job, she can cwork at my uncle’s company. He's got lots of
positions for her.”
Even Jesse gave a quiet, almost imperceptible nod.
