“Vespard has painted itself into a corner. By keeping the women from pressing charges they removed any chance they had of getting rid of Casio. But that didn’t stop the rumors.” Fabiana stared at her beer thoughtfully. She’d taken great pains to distance herself from Lautaro over the last several months. And Casio had let his feelings about her defection be known. He’d been a real jerk about it in fact.
“Do you think they would go as far as having him killed?”
