Chapter 5 - Richard Demands Answers From His Unflinching Wife Victoria
The crystal chandeliers overhead seemed to dim as Richard stepped forward, shielding Leo behind his broad frame.
“You murdered my parents’ legacy and tried to trap my son inside the walls of this house,” Richard accused fiercely.

He needed to get his son out of the mansion immediately before Victoria decided to eliminate them both.
