The situation with Algers had pushed him too far. Although he’d spent a great deal of money purchasing information, the updates had all come back the same. No one knew where Algers had disappeared to so quickly. Greyson took another long draw. He wanted to forget about Algers and move on, but a nagging sense in the back of his mind would not let him. He would not forgive himself if something happened to Lady Merrick.Unlike before, Greyson now fully realized why Richard had given up his share of Ravenhurst. Knowing the club had brought about the threat to his wife gave Greyson a sour taste in his mouth. Why would he continue putting his time and effort in an endeavor that could bring more trouble for him or his wife?“A little early to be drinking, is it not?” Jonathan asked from the doorway.Greyson inwardly cringed. He’d not expected his friend to be back in London so soon. Since Jonathan had left to spend time with his ailing father, Greyson thought he would be gone for quite a while.“How is your father?”“Spry enough to kick me out of the house.”
