How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 413

Lucinda decided to be honest-after all, she didn't even know how Jarrod had managed to convince his great-grandfather to reach out and arrange a meeting with Waldron. That was no small feat.

"Well, let's just leave it to fate," Jarrod replied, sounding remarkably calm, as if he already knew how things would turn out.

Lucinda studied him. "What are you really thinking? You could have met with Mr. Ferguson on your own first. Instead, you brought him to meet both me and your great-grandfather. Are you trying to set something up between him and someone

Sylvie's reputation had definitely taken a hit lately.

Jarrod slipped his phone into his pocket, glanced sidelong at Lucinda, and his lips curled in a faint, enigmatic smile. "I thought you liked her."

Lucinda frowned slightly at that.
