Chapter 104 Her Protection

• The Lewis family had been going through a terrible streak of bad luck, drowning in so much debt from a broken financial chain that ten lifetimes wouldn't be enough to repay it. Nicola had funneled most of her secret savings into helping her brothers, but instead of being grateful, the Lewis family blamed her for not doing enough to keep them living in luxury.
• Samuel knew all about Nicola's recent attempts to take down Holden. Not only had her plans failed miserably, but she'd also lost a lot of resources in the process.
• Samuel was terrified that Holden would blame him for his mother's actions. For the past few weeks, he'd been doing everything possible to avoid Holden, worried he'd end up in the hospital if things went south.
