Chapter 71 Slow Revelation

• Kendra couldn't help but notice more tension in the Laurents's building these days. The way Camille disappeared for long hours and came back looking like she was trying hard to appear innocent, the hushed phone calls when she thought no one was listening. It all gnawed at Kendra's instincts. Her father's fiancée had never struck her as the trusting kind, but this secrecy felt different.
• That evening, Kendra sat in her father's office, scrolling absentmindedly through a set of business reports she was helping with, when Vincent walked in.
• Kendra slowly looked up at him as a strange feeling settled on her. He was looking at her, a slight frown on his face like he had something to say.
