The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 516

When Leonie said something had happened, she was probably talking about Dad being hospitalized.

Gwyneth lowered her eyes, feeling a warm sting behind her eyelids.

"I can't hide forever, can I?"

Gwyneth understood then. Leonie was keeping her here because she was afraid her uncle might cause trouble otherwise.

now.
