A Graduation Gift

Chapter 446 The Winner Takes All (Part One)

Cassandra was frozen inside and out, as though a bucket of icy water had been poured right over her head and chilled her to the bone.

Cloris's cutting words were like daggers to her heart, the pain spreading all through her body.

Rufus had been standing aside trying not to interfere in the sisterly fight. But as he saw Cloris get more and more defensive, he decided to step in.

Rufus had sensed that Cloris had been skirting around the real issue and he was curious to know what she was hiding.
