A Film Queen

Chapter 380

William, too, emitted a disdainful snort, standing behind Milly akin to a cockerel ruffled by injustice. “Some folk fail to discern their own flaws and relish sermonising.”

He harboured no fear of confrontation, unlike his superior. Even confronting a woman, he would fling insults without a moment’s hesitation. Having made his stance clear, he strode off with Milly, bearing himself as triumphantly as a peacock.

Dakota, who had been lurking in the shadows with her head ducked, found

Matthew’s heart went out to her, witnessing her concern for others softening his resolve even further. “Stephanie, your compassion knows no bounds. But persisting thus, she may still exploit your generosity.”
