Chapter 98

In the backyard, Coraline was throwing a tantrum, tears streaming down her cheeks as she clung to a man.

“Does she think marrying into the Langley family makes her something special? The Langleys are practically extinct, and she’s tied the knot with an imbecile–a dirty, ugly vagabond who picks through trash all year round.”

A match made in heaven for idiots,” the man soothed Coraline. “She can strut all she wants, but she’s still working for you. Once she hands over her share of the Langley Group to you, we’ll have control over the whole fortune.”
