Chapter 151

Victor had never been one to play by the rules.

The Fitzgeralds died young, and Dorian raised him with the kind of elite education reserved for heirs to the Fitzgerald Group. It shaped Victor into someone fierce, arrogant, and utterly cold-blooded.

If it hadn't been for that little girl years ago who somehow reached him-he would have grown up completely heartless.

Victor never pulled his punches.

Just the thought of Prescott laying a hand on Isadora made Victor want to kick the man straight into the ground.

Eleanor, watching Prescott get beaten, was so desperate she burst into tears, forgetting all about Victor's intimidating status.
