Chapter 47

Charlotte’s mind flashed to Hans. Other than that mother and son, she couldn’t think of anything else that could make Evander lose control like this.

“You think I’d hurt a child?” Her laugh was cold, almost mocking. “Mr. Howard, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Evander grabbed her wrist, yanking her roughly. “Wasn’t it you who bought the cake?”

His grip was unrestrained, pressing painfully into her skin.

Evander’s arm shot out, dragging her closer until only inches separated them. “Hans is allergic to chocolate. Did you know that cake almost killed him?”

For a moment, the pain in her arm was forgotten.

She froze, her expression dazed. “…Tricia never told me.”

“You’re still lying.”
