Chapter 100

"Never mind, I have faith in the way we've raised Bella. She could never be like the Zade family," Mrs. Hawke said, but even as she spoke, doubt was taking root in her mind, impossible to ignore.

She was especially worried about the possibility of Arabella siphoning off the Hawke family's resources to benefit the Żades. So, she'd started tightening the reins on Arabella's allowance.

"Let's trust Bella," Alden nodded, his voice serious. "Besides, if anything goes wrong with her right now, it could impact our family too."

Mrs. Hawke sighed, "I know, I just worry. If she were our own flesh and blood, maybe we wouldn't be facing this issue."

Alden felt a surge of frustration whenever Miranda came to mind.

At the Hawke Group's NeuraCore building, Dorian frowned upon hearing Arabella's words. It hadn't bothered him before, but now Arabella's demeanor struck him as overly dramatic.
