Madison looked serious. “You can never be certain. You two are experts at winning favor. You saw Dad’s attitude that day; other than them, did he look kindly at anyone else? So, we need to be wary of those two, so all our hard work doesn’t go to waste at the critical moment.”

Jackson’s voice was chilling. “Don’t worry, it’s a done deal. I won’t let them mess it up.”

Madison shrugged. “I’ll assume I’m just overthinking things.”
