Chapter 387

"Maynard, drive Ms. Marchand home."

Violet was stunned—she hadn't expected McNeil to part ways with her so coldly. She bit her lip, unable to hide her unease.

Maynard glanced at her. "Ms. Marchand, where to?"

Violet tightened her grip on the folder inside her purse. "Drive me to the family estate. I want to speak to Mr. Langford face to face."
