Chapter 186

Lillian was absolutely livid. How could the Haywood family even consider finding another suitor for that bitch Brielle.

Even if the Haywoods had fallen on hard times, they still had serious cash to their name. Was it really necessary to pair Brielle up with some up–and–coming young hotshot?

He hasn’t remarried since then, though he’s had his fair share of flings with young things. Not exactly the classiest of acts. Brielle and him? They’re a match made in heaven.”
