Fine I ll give you Jerry sashes Edith finally agreed
Lilian immediately grabbed Edith s sleeve Mom
Wendy saw their small gestures and subtle expressions and a cold laugh escaped her I m just taking back my dad sashes and you re this upset Could it be that you re hiding some kind of dark secret
What nonsense are you talking about Lilian snapped immediately Your dad sashes have always been placed in the grand hall I just don t want you disturbing his peace
Wendy’ssmilewasbitingandfilledwithmockery,”You’vealwaysdisturbedmydad’speace.YoutrappedhimintheCronefamily’sestate–wasthatsohecouldwatchhiswifeandbrotherfool aroundwhileabandoninghisowndaughter?”
Lilian froze How dare you
Wendy s gaze swept over the Crone family members
Jerry had bought the mansion that the Crone family was living in paid for Harry s college and even taught Archer all he knew about business
Yet what had any of them given back to him
