Connor laughed maniacally.

But Holly was shocked by his words and stared at him. in disbelief, “What are you saying? How is that

After several thoughts flashed through her mind, she looked at Connor incredulously. “So you mean, you and Isla, you guys are actually…”

He had just fallen for the girl next door, who was only

Connor devised a perfect plan…

He took the money to the abandoned hospital to find Finley, took out his phone, and had Finley record those words, fooling him into thinking that if Keira caused him any harm, he could use those words to threaten

Keira.

Finley wasn’t a good father and had gambled away everything.

But Finley was also a good father.

Connor’s tuition fees were all scammed by him, but Finley at least never let Connor go hungry.
