Chapter 63

Chapter 63:

“Well, that explains it! Khloe’s probably another man’s daughter. Nothing good ever comes from that.”

“So Khloe took the lead role in Peaks of Eternity as some twisted payback against the Evans family? How vicious! Her mother had no decency, and now Sloane’s suffering for it!”
