Chapter 104: The Unraveling Truth

(Marcus Blackwood’s POV)

Holding his coffee mug tightly, my voice was low and hoarse. “Do I look like I’m favoring her?”

Heidi Cross shifted uncomfortably in her chair, her eyes darting between me and Amber Stone. The fear in her expression was palpable.

“What exactly did she tell you?” I demanded, setting the mug down with enough force to make her flinch.

Heidi’s hands trembled as she spoke. “She said you wouldn’t interfere with her affairs. That you disliked the Blackthorne family and wouldn’t blame anyone for targeting them.”
