Chapter 24 Miller's Fears

• Miller sat at the edge of his study, his brows furrowed as he drummed his fingers on the oak table. Across from him was Rose silently sitting by the window, her hands nervously fidgeting with the hem of her dress.
• She had listened to her husband vent for the better part of an hour, but the weight of the situation was settling on her as well. The revelation from the Whitfield brothers still hung heavily in the air.
• Finally, Miller spoke. “I can’t believe it, Rose. After all these years… all the planning and scheming... Alora’s true identity is connected to the Whitfields of Willowy Heights. It feels like everything is slipping through my fingers.”
