How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 489

Elodie considered it for a moment. "Mr. Ferguson has always been unpredictable. If he already promised Jarrod he'd help, I doubt he'd go back on his word."

Sylvie understood exactly what Selma meant.

At this critical moment, she needed a boost.
