Chapter 314: A Better Person

Aaron was relieved that Alice finally decided to leave her scumbag husband. He had wished she would for a long time now. She reminded him far too much of how Keeley used to be.

"I didn't realize you and Alice were so close," his wife commented as she petted Dinah, who rested in her lap, once the babies were down for the night.

"I wouldn't necessarily call us close. I approached her to be one of my shareholders because I needed one more person and she was the only one I could think of. She's the most tolerable person I know from the entire social circle. We talk occasionally at board meetings and the events my father has forced me to over the years but that's the extent of it."

Keeley raised an eyebrow. "She trusts you an awful lot for so little interaction."
