Chapter 234

• My world had become increasingly claustrophobic.
• When I heard that Margaret my mother-in-law and matriarch of the family had personally visited me at the Northwatch Estate to offer an apology, the bitterness in my chest became unbearable.
• It wasn’t just an apology. It was a declaration that Margaret, despite her age and formidable reputation in business circles, still held the reins of the family legacy. And as long as she remained alive, I would never have full control over the estate, the family company, or even my image within elite society.
