Chapter 17 Beneath the Facade

Finished

Leah’s expression was full of disdain. The kindness and gentleness she showed to the Nelsons were completely absent when dealing with her biological parents. Instead, her sharp and bitter true nature was on full display.

“Only two million dollars? What’s there to be so happy bout? The diamond necklace my brother gave me is worth five million dollars.”

Ignorant fools, she thought.

With irritation, she demanded, “Weren’t you supposed to ruin Charmaine tonight, force her to agree to donate her kidney? What kind of useless trash did you hire? They couldn’t even handle one woman!”

The thought of that disgusting man grinning lewdly at her and the filthy things he had said made Leah’s blood boil.

Sophie was equally frustrated. “What kind of skills could that little tramp have? She’s just lucky!”

At this, Leah exploded with fury.

“Charmaine has all the luck, doesn’t she? Everything is handed to her on a silver platter, while I struggle and strive, only to end up with disasters like that fake antique. It’s like I’m cursed!”

Bennett frowned. “What happened? Antique… are you talking about the one you got for Zayn?”
