Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 The Jane Family's Kindred

with no further cooperation needed from the police, I took a cab back to the Harmon residence.

Ghen the recent upheaval in the Harmon family, I couldn't stay with Emma any longer. Moreover, Leonard was only pretending to be gravely ill, so I needed to report on company matters to him daily, making it easier for him to manipulate things remetely. As soon as opened the villadoor, I was met with an unexpected sight.

Besides Bob and his family, Lily was sitting provocatively on the sofa in the living room. Her hand was resting on her abdomen, and she was brimming with self-satisfaction.

My family affairs are none of your business!"
