Hull said, “Her brother said not to talk about it.”
Susanna blinked. “Mr. Quinn?”
“Yeah.”
“Why not?”
Wait—what does her brother have to do with this? And why is Mr. Quinn the one making the rules?
Hang on… Those calls she made to Star—Star seemed in the dark too.
So Mr. Quinn didn’t tell Star about those calls either?
What’s he playing at?
Hull shrugged. “I don’t know. He said not to talk, so don’t. And don’t go calling Yvonne either.”
With his usual deadpan, Hull casually shifted all responsibility onto Ronald.
If that was Ronald’s order, Susanna might not get it, but she definitely wasn’t about to argue. And for someone as nosy as she was, keeping her mouth shut was a challenge.
“So… can I at least ask Star? I mean, Star—”
Would Mr. Quinn be mad about that?
Honestly, ever since all this mess started back in Portis City, Susanna’s been all about keeping her head down. She had enough drama as it was.
She wasn’t about to borrow more trouble.
Hull just looked at her. “Mr. Quinn will handle it. Next time you call the princess, keep your lips zipped, okay?”
Barnaby, standing off to the side, had never seen Hull so calmly authoritative. For once, he didn’t dare butt in.
Susanna nodded obediently. “Okay, got it.”
And that was that—Hull managed to put Susanna’s worries to rest.
But at dinner, she couldn’t help herself.
