Chapter 273 You Don’t Deserve Any Mercy

“At your age, you don’t even know if you will live to see tomorrow. What if something crucial for the fate of the Larkin family falls into the wrong hands? I am your daughter–in–law and the mother of your grandson. Can’t you trust me?”

“Get out! Leave!” Hans’s words echoed as he forcefully banged his cane on the ground. “I don’t want to see you at Beverley Manor ever again! Rita, you can try as hard as you want, but I’ll never give you what you desire!”
