“You useless scum, what are you talking about? Do you have a death wish, huh?” Jacob growled, raising a hand to hit Alex.

“You think you can compare to Henry? Why don’t you take a closer look at the trash you’ve given me? I can’t believe you actually have the gall to show up with it!” Harper shrilled loudly while glaring at Alex. She flashed the luxury watch glittering on her wrist at him. “Look at this!
