Chapter 689

After Susanna came down with a fever, she became even more of a handful.

She insisted that Hull hire two more housekeepers for the villa, and by the time Silas arrived with his men, the staff had doubled.

Hull's tone was icy as he asked, "You ran the background checks?"

Silas nodded. "Understood."
