Chapter 405 The Weight of Betrayal

Seeing Susan’s number on the screen, Patrick felt his anger flare instantly.

The moment he answered, before he could even speak, Susan’s voice came through. “I want to see you.”

Her tone was unnervingly calm.

Lately, whether it was about my other family or Lillian, every phone call had been a battle.

But this calmness, how long had it been since we last had such a conversation?

Patrick forced down his anger for the moment, his voice low. “What do you want?”

Patrick frowned. “What?”

Susan pressed on. “You put that woman in the villa at Grandmount Pinnacle, didn’t you?”

Her tone, which had been oddly composed, shattered into a furious roar.
