possibility of fraud charges...”
    John Spenser was silent for nearly a minute.
    “Very magnanimous, aren’t you, Graeme, in victory?”
    “Of course,” said Graeme and hung up.
    Rose stood at the doorway to his office.
    “Mr. Browning, your daughter and Senor de Velaquado are here to have lunch with you and Olivia. I didn’t realize you had arranged to meet them. Do you want me to call down and remind your wife? I think she has arrangements with Haillie.”
    Graeme frowned.
    What were these two up to? Had Rod devised a plan so quickly?
    “Yes, call her. Let Louisa and Rod know I’ll be out in a few moments.”
    Five minutes later, Graeme walked out of his office. Olivia had just come upstairs.  Ten minutes later, the four were seated at the Savoy Grill.
    Olivia immediately noticed Louisa’s new ring. It was hard to miss the enormous fiery white stone surrounded by rose diamonds. It seemed to Olivia to be about the same size as the one Graeme had placed on her own finger and that totaled twenty carats…
    “Louisa, that ring is beautiful,” she exclaimed.
    Graeme peered at his daughter’s left hand. 
    “Is that new? I recall William giving you a square cut diamond flanked on either side. It wasn’t nearly that large”
    Louisa looked happily at Rodriguez. 
    “It is new, Daddy. Rodriguez gave it to me this morning.”
    “This morning? I did notice you didn’t come to us last evening. I thought you’d gone to Julia’s.”
    Louisa coloured slightly.
    “No, Daddy, I stayed at the Four Seasons with ‘Riguez. I...we have something to tell you.”
    Rodriguez smiled at Graeme.
    “I hope you aren’t going to play the heavy upset father with us, Graeme, when you hear our story.
    “You might remember that Louisa spent a couple of weeks in Ireland earlier this year, purchasing a new jumper?”
    “I remember,” said Graeme drily. He’d written a hefty cheque for the purchase. It had been twice as much as he’d paid for any other horse he’d bought her.
    “Well, as you know, Louisa and I are acquainted through the equestrian circuit, so when we bumped into each other at Summerdown Stables, it was only natural that we go to dinner.
    “Dinner led to the best five days of my life. Even then your daughter feared William was cheating on her. I consoled her, and well, one thing led to another…
    “We agreed not to tell anyone of our affair to protect Louisa’s marriage because we both believe that divorce is a last resort…
    “I didn’t know until Monday when you told me that Louisa was pregnant.”
    “Oh?” said Graeme quietly, too quietly, thought Olivia.
    “The baby is mine, not William’s,” said Rodriguez blandly. “Your daughter and I are to be married as soon as her divorce is finalized.”
    Graeme took a deep breath.
    “That’s your story and you’re not changing it?”
    “You don’t believe us, Daddy?”
    “Louisa, it doesn’t matter if I believe you or not. Did Geraldine Grey believe you?”
    “Of course she did, Daddy, and more importantly, so did William. He started muttering about DNA tests, and Geraldine said if he did, I’d demand the same from Maxine.”
    “William knows?”
    “William knows.  He still wanted money to buy a house, but I said you wouldn’t let me give him any. He thinks his father will try to get some by trying to break the pre-nup.”
    “So I offered to sell him a place I have in Notting Hill for nothing, Ten Pounds, if he played nicely with us,” added Rodriguez.
    “He’s taking Maxine to see her new home this afternoon and then meeting Ms. Grey at four to sign the papers. We have to be back at her office at six to sign, then Louisa’s solicitor will be submitting them in the morning. Ms. Grey is a very clever woman. Louisa and William will be divorced because of unreasonable behaviour instead of adultery. Much less scandalous, eh?”
    “Much less scandalous,” smiled Olivia, amused.
    “We should be married in about seven weeks,” added
