The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1305:

“Then why don’t you make that kind of money yourself? If you push her too far, how are we supposed to keep this life? The house, the car—everything you enjoy is because of your sister. Try being grateful for once.” Tori’s words cut through his frustration until he fell silent.
