Chapter 211

• After returning from Grand Princess Hazel’s elite charity gala the kind that only the top 0.1% of society were invited to Evelyn Warren collapsed.
• By midnight, her fever had spiked, and she was muttering incoherently, her mind clearly unraveling under stress. Beatrice, her long-time personal assistant, immediately called the family physician. Meanwhile, Benjamin was dispatched to the nearby luxury hotel where Adrian had been staying since leaving the family estate.
• Adrian had initially assumed it was another melodramatic stunt another performance from the Warren women to pull him back into their world of manipulative theatrics. But the moment he stepped into the penthouse and saw his mother trembling under layers of designer cashmere, her lips dry and whispering nonsensical fragments, he knew it was real.
