Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 6

“The Miller family hasn’t reached the point for you to leave with nothing,” Jerome said in response to Mikayla’s puzzled expression.

She didn’t lack money. Besides the shares her grandfather had left her, she could earn on her own.

Mikayla gave up arguing. “Fine, it’s up to you. See you at City Hall tomorrow.”
