Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 92

Chapter 92 ya The Successor

All afternoon, I found myself distracted, my thoughts repeatedly returning to Penelope's words.

Lan truly had his ways. Not only was all the incrimsating evidence against Lily erased, but even the online news had been scrubbed clean of any related headlines. After all, the mother of child from the Harmon family had to be spotless

When Leonard walked into my office, I was staring blankly at my computer. Penelope's face flashed before my eyes again. She seemed so passionate and righteous about everything and everyone.

All I could do was wait But Leonard, uncharacteristically, pushed Lily away. "Lily, show some respect." "You can head home Em here to pick up my wife," he said.

If he had treated Lily this way from the start, I might have been moved. But now, all I felt was that he was being hypocritical it was just like back then-he pushed me away and then embraced Lily.
