Chapter 275: Last Ditch Effort

While I was all for last-ditch efforts, I wasn't exactly buying her plan. "What will that accomplish?" I hated to be the voice of doom, but...

Yeah. But.

Olivia actually looked at me like I was an innocent child who needed to be taught a valuable lesson in the way the world worked. "This is a small town, Fee," she said, "and the residents are easily swayed. Trust me, I've done it enough times myself, I know this will work. But if Geoffrey catches wind we're going to stack the debate, he'll take steps to cut me off." She shook her head. "He's probably going to try anyway. I might have an ace or two up my sleeve I can pull out, a few favors to call in. But it's a long shot."

So, not much of a plan, then. "I'm happy to help," I said.
