บท 1209: Edward’s Compromise

George was still young and was related to Alex by blood. Once he was successful in his studies, he would be the best tool for the Duncans.

She knew very well why George had to be sent away, so she did not blame Edward. Rather, she blamed herself. 

She thought that killing Warren would set them free. However, she did not realize that politics had never been as simple as she thought. 

Once they were involved, they would be involved for a lifetime. After all, the winner takes all, and those who failed never had the right to make their own decisions.

With that, she turned around and left.

There was no one she could blame.

He thought, perhaps it was good for her to lose her temper at him. At least, she still had hope for him.

In the afternoon, George returned from school and saw his long-lost father, whom he actually did not miss at all.
