Chapter 156

Sullivan was head over heels for Megan. He cared deeply for her.

Cressida, on the other hand, had lost it completely

Ripping off her IV line, her frail hands bled, but she couldn’t care less. Her face contorted with rage as she said, “If it weren’t for your mother, it should’ve been me you were marrying! Sullivan, do you really think she just orchestrated that accident? No, she did much more! She arranged for me to many a brutish man, a wife–beater… a man who beat me so badly I ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding. It was too late; I lost my ability to have children.
