Chapter 8 - Clarissa Plans To Eliminate The Triplets From Society
Across town at a high-end Manhattan penthouse, Clarissa Hart smashed a crystal champagne glass against the wall. The sparkling shards rained down over the expensive rug as she paced back and forth in a blind rage.

“Find me the private investigators who worked for Daniel Mercer before the feds shut them down,” Clarissa ordered icily. “What are you planning to do, Miss Hart? Sebastian Vale has armed guards surrounding that apartment,” the assistant warned.
“Sebastian is blinded by sentimentality, but bloodlines in high society are clean-cut business transactions,” Clarissa sneered venomously. “If those three little bastards don't exist, Sebastian will eventually come crawling back to his rightful place beside me.”

The assistant swallowed hard, backing out of the room to execute the dangerous, illegal command without questioning. Clarissa walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the Manhattan skyline with pure malice in her eyes.
She had spent too many years climbing the social ladder to lose her prize to a woman from Queens. If she couldn't have Sebastian Vale as her husband, nobody else would ever enjoy his multi-billion-dollar fortune.
