But it doesn’t mean I have to forgive her or accept what happened.” Noelle took a sip of her tea, grimacing at the bitterness. “New tea, huh? Mom probably never even thought about giving me the good stuff. It’s always Winter this, Winter that. She never cares about how I feel. What about you, Dad?”

a wave of dread wash over her, and she stumbled back, collapsing into a chair. “What

do is marry into the other family, and they’ll give Helios two hundred million. You know how huge that is for your dad’s business, right?” Jade said. Noelle scoffed. “So you’re just gonna trade me off? You guys…” She tried to sit up but crashed back down, drained of all strength,
