Chapter 16

Olivia lifted her head and saw her father—Henry Maxwell—whom she had not seen in seven years.

He looked much older than he was seven years ago, but he seemed to be in good spirits and still had a noble and dignified air around him. At that moment, he was glaring at Olivia with a furious look on his face—the dislike and disgust he held for her remained unchanged too.
