Lilian quickly stepped forward feigning concern I heard you were kidnapped and taken into surgery I ve been so worried about you Are you okay
Halsey s voice was cold and biting You two really are something each of you a better actress than the other Wendy doesn t need your fake sympathy
Lilian glared at Halsey her irritation clear Watch it
Lilian couldn t stand Halsey If it weren t for her Wendy wouldn t have escaped so easily
But Halsey was a darling of the Lincoln family and Lilian couldn t do anything about it The feeling of helpless hatred gnawed at her
Liliansuddenlysmiled,hertonesweetbutmocking.”Wendy,areyouheretosee Jessica?Mr.Hawkissittingwithherrightnow.Youcanseeforyourself.”
