No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 528

Lord leaned in, his gaze landing on my face before breaking into a smile.

I didn't know what amused him, but I kept staring, determined to get an answer, my eyes practically declaring I wouldn't rest until I got one.

I realized then, it was about money.

"Who was it?" I demanded urgently.

Lord didn't answer directly but instead posed a question, "Who do you think it could be?"

The death of my parents circled back to that contract, which ultimately ended up in Herschel's hands, so... it was him.

I had my suspicions before, but Lord had dismissed them, even claiming Herschel had earmarked the profits from that deal for me.
