Chapter 112

"He hasn't cut ties, but he's becoming more indifferent toward me."

"So what? As long as he agrees to marry you, you'll officially be in a position to deal with his other women. Then Sylvia will have nowhere to turn!" Miriam, clutching her bleeding neck, seethed with anger. Bridget scoffed, "Sylvia. We'll see about that."
