A Beauty With Multiple Masks

“Matthew… I’m not going to give up my power. Between Aaron and me, you’re going to have to choose who to be loyal to.”

Biting her lip, Nancy got out of Matthew’s embrace.

“Nancy…” Matthew looked at her. “Your grandson is not young anymore. Is it so bad to lie back and enjoy your days as the queen mother?”

Upon hearing his answer, Nancy turned away and walked straight toward the window. “Leave. From now on, we shall go our separate ways.”
