Her expression hardened as she sling her bag over her shoulder, Before leaving, she said coldly, “I don’t need it, Damian. Not everything is yours to control. I’ve been keeping quiet only because I don’t want to disappoint Grandpa. Don’t push me, Damian.”
Damian had connected her with Witham Morris, opening new doors for her and her mother. She had been tolerating him for now because of that. But what mattered most to her was Elijah.
Whimer’s grandparents passed away when she was young, so she had never known the warmth of a grandparent’s love. But Elijah had given her that sense of family. He treated her like his own grandlaughter and always looked out for her. She couldn’t hurt him out of her men selfishness

“Maybe=”
“I’ve got it!” Sophie suddenly cut her off, leaning close as if she had uncovered a huge secret. She whispered, “Juchel’s the real other woman, isn’t she?
At that moment, on the rooftop of the Howard Group ding, Rachel stood in the wind, ber hair blowing wildly as she anxiously checked her phone. Her frustration was all over her face. What do you want?”
She finally he and the voice she had been long for
Damian approached with his hands in his pockets. He was clearly irritated.
“Why did you have to public about your relationship with Whitney? Why would you hate me like that? Rachel looked up with tears in her
