Chapter 8 - Evelyn and Her Father Plot a Brutal Revenge
Across town in a lavish penthouse overlooking Briarport Harbor, Martin Hart poured a glass of neat bourbon.
Evelyn sat on the leather sofa, her face stained with dried tears and twisted into pure, unadulterated hatred.
“He chose a filthy maid over me, Daddy! He threw me out like trash in front of the entire household!” Evelyn sobbed.

“Find out everything about Rachel Bennett’s background, her old apartment, and any lingering debts,” Martin ordered coldly.
