Chapter 136

Clark let out a cold laughter. “Well, you and Kris can search all you want, but you won’t find anything. I’m not an idiot.”

Thalassa’s eyes narrowed, her voice cutting through the room like ice. “So it’s true. That story you told me about the women you ‘fell in love with‘ supposedly killing themselves–it was all a lie, wasn’t it? They never committed suicide. You killed them so you can get their fortune.”
