Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

“Just be quiet!” Noreen’s rage intensified with her husband’s every word.

Facing Hadley with a scornful look, Noreen snapped, “Yes, I’ve hidden Brady! I’m preventing him from making any bone marrow donation! Forget about trying to find him. I will never disclose his whereabouts!”

A chilling fear gripped Hadley, her heart heavy with dread.

With a mocking laugh and her chin raised proudly, Noreen said, “Are you upset? But do you really have a right to be? Recall when I was at your mercy, pleading for Brady’s life. What was your response?”

At that moment, Hadley had coldly said, “He’s just a bastard who’d be better off dead.”
