The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 785

In Victoria's backyard.

The room was a spacious forty square meters, with two king-sized beds laid out like in a hotel double room.

Victoria and Harrison each claimed a bed, with a couple of nightstands separating them, a casual gap that nonetheless felt like a chasm.

The room was brightly lit, and as Victoria scrolled through her phone, she suddenly sat up and turned to Harrison. "Why did you help me today?"

Harrison's fingers paused on the page he was flipping, and he looked up with a bemused expression. "You're my wife, aren't you? Who else am I supposed to help, Sophie?

Let's face it, I'm your husband, at least on paper. Our interests are aligned, and besides, we're in this business deal together, right?"

The man gave a small, secretive smile, the lamplight casting twinkling stars in his eyes.

You had to admit, Harrison had a certain charm about him.

No wonder Kaitlyn was completely taken in by him back when he was just a twenty-something.

Victoria would have been defenseless too..

Lost in thought, her gaze still wary as she eyed Harrison, she quipped, "Playing the doting husband now, are we?"

"Well, now that you've seen behind the mask, what's the point in keeping it up?" Harrison's eyes returned to his book without lifting his head.

After a brief pause, he looked up again. "By the way, about Richard Ellington, I've made contact. Tomorrow, you'll meet him."
