Three years ago, Edward and I had created a haute couture fashion house, The Edwardian Taylor. By this point, it had become a massive success.

Edward financed the operation while I was the principal designer. Honestly, he was the one winning without lifting a finger—especially considering its net worth now.

Sally’s expression froze before becoming wooden.

Edward’s face darkened. “Don’t take it out on my mom, Taylor.”

“I see this as a parenting failure, Ed. Maybe I should take it out on your dad, too,” I taunted.
