How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 660

Esmeralda's outburst came out of nowhere.

Elodie barely had time to react.

Jarrod staggered back two steps under the force, but his core remained steady— he didn't even sway much.

His dark eyes flicked over Esmeralda. If he felt anything, he didn't show it.

Elodie understood; a man like Jarrod never bothered to argue with women about such things.

"Why is it that someone like you gets to be just fine? What gives you the right? You cheat, you're cold and cruel, and you left Elodie to carry all that pain alone—are you even human?"
