"What's that all about?" Clara demanded to know, her voice sharp. "Are those the Allen Guild's plan for the summit? Are you… Are you making your sister smuggle confidential files?"
As expected, once she found out something she considered to be even remotely suspicious, Clara decided it was perfectly reasonable for her to grill him about it.
Even though it was none of her business. She was just Lane's future in-law.
