Chapter 28

Heh...

Victoria, you're such a fool. Even now, you still fall for McNeil's sweet talk.

McNeil himself opened the car door for her. He took her hand, looking into her eyes with sincerity. "Tonight, I'll bring Gwyn home for dinner."

Victoria pulled her hand free and reached for her suitcase.

Haley wasn't a Langford family employee. She was the old housekeeper Victoria had brought with her from the Turner family estate, the woman who had watched Victoria grow up from childhood.
