Nobody realized that, besides the 20 shares that Valerie owned, Raymond’s father had also given her foreign assets simply because she had once saved his life.

The secretary, Bryan Henderson, asked, “Ms. Quinn, didn’t you say before that you wanted to give those overseas assets to Mr. Raymond Hibben? What made you change your decision so suddenly?”
