Chapter 98

“I was starting to think the Johnson family might actually prosper once their heiress takes over the company,” Liam said, letting Izzy rest her head on his arm.

Izzy gave him a tight–lipped smile before resting her head on his arm again. She resumed chatting, her words flowing effortlessly as the car carried them to their next destination.
