The receptionist smiled politely. "Miss Templeton, for a month-long stay, we can offer you a discount. The total will be $32,500."
"Card," Ann said, sliding a credit card across the counter.
The receptionist ran the card. A moment later, she slid it back. "I'm sorry, Miss Templeton, but this card has been frozen. It seems there's an issue with your account."
*Frozen? Why?*
"Try this one." Ann struggled to maintain her composure, pulling another card from her wallet.
The receptionist tried again, with the same result. "My apologies, Miss Templeton, this one isn't working either."
Ann tried five different cards, but all of them were frozen.
Now, real panic set in. That vile old woman! This had to be her doing. What was she trying to accomplish? She'd taken the house, and now she'd frozen her bank accounts. Did she want her to starve on the street? Ann had served her for years, been the dutiful granddaughter. She deserved more than this. Keira was heartless.
*Just you wait,* Ann thought, cursing Keira a thousand times over. *You'll get what's coming to you.*
