The Runaway Groom

Chapter 127

As Lionel stepped inside his ward, he told Samantha, “You can leave. I don’t need you here.”

Samantha quickly tried to appease him. “You can’t be alone, right? I’ll stay.”

However, Lionel had already seen through her and what she wanted.

“You just want my inheritance, don’t you?” he asked, exposing her right then.

“Sis,” he called out to her.

“You don’t have to thank me. He’s my father too,” Irene replied, and left.
