Chapter 40

The group chatted and laughed, sipping and enjoying their wine while Sophia sat next to Pierce with a bored look on her face. Her gaze swept around the table, her eyes lingering on each face.
• As she listened to her parents and grandfather’s conversation, her expression turned icy, her eyes flashing with disdain. Damn hypocrites. She thought. William was the first to notice her gaze.
