Chapter 1144

The notion of keeping family matters private was something Riley had always held dear, but at this moment, she couldn’t care less. Still, she found herself cowed by Carissa’s commanding presence.

Holding back her tears of frustration, she followed Carissa’s instructions and led her mom, sister–in–law, and aunt into the main hall of Silverstone Estate.
