The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 265

The Ellington clan, besides Richard and Percival’s parents, didn’t even register on her radar. She couldn’t be bothered to spare them any thought

Whether the money spent on the stone came from her pocket or Percival’s was none of their business

It was quite an interesting change of scenery
