Chapter 443

• Third Person's POV
• Once Edwin stormed out, Thomasina collapsed onto her hospital bed, trembling.
• Angela, who had been lurking in the corner, scurried over and lowered her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "Look, Samantha got exactly what was coming to her. She tried to use that kid with the questionable bloodline to climb the social ladder, but Cassian wouldn't even touch her. I told her to take the money and run, but she wouldn't listen. Ending up in his crosshairs was just her fate. Our family is banking everything on the heir in your womb now. Cassian is ruthless—we literally cannot afford to take any more risks."
