But with Nicholas denying any involvement in Neal's case, Pete was the only one left as a suspect.
If Jay Caldwell & Co. was his business consideration, I couldn't judge. However, Neal had to be his malicious revenge.
I asked softly, "Was Neal's suspension your doing?" After a brief pause, Pete's soft laughter cfrom beside me. "I expected you to ask about Yasmine, or your job, or maybe even Silas.
