"What did you say...?"
That sentence was a dagger to Renee Jennings's heart. She couldn't believe her ears. In Nathaniel's eyes, she couldn't even compare to that weak woman, Victor Vance.
Nathaniel completely ignored her wounded expression. "Victor Vance is at least obedient. What do you have?"
He sneered. "Hmph, easy for you to say. What makes you think you can take on Naomi Kenway? Do you think the Shaw Family is someone we can afford to offend?" Nathaniel's expression turned vicious as he gripped Renee Jennings's shoulders. "Isn't the humiliation I've suffered enough for you? If you're in such a hurry to die, go jump off a building! Why must you drag the Lynch Family down with you?!"
Gazing at Nathaniel's savage, bloodshot eyes, Renee Jennings's eyelashes fluttered. She stared at him in disbelief. "How can you say that to me? Didn't you promise you'd be good to me forever?"
