Chapter 1921

John’s study was inside another courtyard.

Caprice walked to the adjacent courtyard.

Upon her arrival, she noticed that the windows of the study were open. Her eyes shone. She quickly tiptoed to the window, careful to not make any noise.

It was Liam’s voice. There was a gravitas in his voice that one usually would not expect coming from a person in his mid-twenties.

She could not resist the urge to poke her head through the window and steal a peek inside.

Liam and her father were seated on separate armchairs.

Her father was in the middle of taking a sip from a teacup. He started shifting some documents around on the table, and that was when he suddenly directed a piercing gaze in Caprice’s direction.
