Chapter 527

At this point, she seemed to recall something and curled her lip in disdain.

"Just now, I saw Aurora walk in... She's over there, chatting it up with all those movers and shakers. Honestly, for someone with her background, she sure loves the spotlight."

She gave a little snort. "Let's see how proud she is when the truth about her parentage comes out."

Wendy, always calmer than Katrina, spoke softly, "Quinn, don't say things like that."
