Chapter 56: Trump Card

Suddenly, voices from the foyer were heard from the waiting room doors. They heard the clamor of footsteps as servants rushed to the entrance. It was accompanied by the sound of glasses shattering.

Lina quickly opened the door and walked outside to see what was going on. Before that, she took back the contract, so that her Uncle couldn't steal her copy. Not like she needed it, but she wanted to be petty.

"That must be your loverboy," William dryly stated, knowing who'd cause such a large reaction from the employees.

"He's not my lover boy," Lina snapped at him, walking ahead to see who it was.

In normal circumstances, Lina wouldn't have dared to do so. It was disrespectful. However, had her Uncle respected her decision, she wouldn't have behaved as such.

"What did I say?" William muttered in disgust the second his gaze landed on the infuriating Kaden DeHaven. The man dared to smirk when he saw the two of them.
