The implication was clear—Taylor hadn't deceived her when they were together.
"I see," Voilet murmured, her lips curving slightly in a faint, almost ghostly smile. "Thank you, Uncle."
The smile on her face looked more painful than tears. The butler carefully took the phone she had handed over with the documents, his expression solemn.
