Chapter 446

Cloudia stared at the butler in sheer terror. “This…”

Her mind was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t even hear her own voice. She glanced down again at the documents in her hands–every detail about that woman’s entry into the Larkin Group and the role Ursula played in it.

So, that woman was brought into the company by Ursula?

No, this couldn’t be…

Cloudia’s mind went blank in an instant, and she felt the blood in her veins run cold and backwards.

“Mrs. Larkin, Mrs. Larkin, are you alright?” the butler’s anxious voice cut through the silence, tensing the entire atmosphere of the living room.

Stella and Tegan had just finished their coffee on Rigou Street and were planning to grab some lunch when Tegan’s phone buzzed.

Stella assumed it might be Uriah calling. It seemed like Tegan had been through a lot with the Horner family lately. Even if she hadn’t said a word, Stella could sense Tegan’s growing aversion to them.

Tegan listened to the voice on the other end, her eyes widening in shock. “Okay, I understand.” After ending the call, she turned to Stella. “Mrs. Larkin’s been admitted to the hospital.”
