The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 379

Evelyn stared at the evidence laid bare, watching Dahlia desperately try to dodge the blame. Evelyn couldn't help but chuckle sarcastically.

That woman! So, she lost a daughter. Big deal! If she wanted more kids, she could just have them with someone like Brooks or even some random guy. Why drag her down with this?
