StartNovelChapter 1394:
Their eyes met, brimming with mutual resentment, locked in a silent clash. “Keira, you took a hundred million
dollars and swore never to bother us again,” Giselle said sharply.
She sized up Keira, noting her modest blue knit dress, likely costing a few thousand dollars, and inexpensive
shoes, perhaps about eight thousand. Her handbag, slightly worn, might have been worth about thirty thousand

In Keira’s eyes, Giselle was never someone to underestimate. She didn’t believe she'd ever manage to push
Giselle into letting her daughter stay here.
She watched the street outside, and her heart leaped when another car finally pulled up.
At last, someone had come.
Excitement surged through her at the thought that Shepard might finally be home.
With renewed confidence, she shot
