It would not be a crime to take an extended break and maybe show up after the birth of Elisabeth’s child.

I am sure father still has some businesses solely in his name that he is running that have nothing to do with Diamond corp. Besides, you should still have a lot of money. After all, you and Miles have been stealing from Diamond corp for a while now,” I said, and she opened her eyes, surprised. “I never stole a dime; he gave
