Chapter 151

Brielle couldn’t help but find it amusing, the act they were putting on so late in the game.

“The Haywoods have footed the bill for my upkeep all these years,” she said, a wry smile touching her lips. “I’ve tallied up the costs, with interest, and paid you back in full. Let’s not have any more of these inconvenient calls, shall we?”

This was not the scenario Miranda had expected. Shouldn’t Brielle be the one unable to bear parting with them, begging to stay with the Haywoods? Without their intervention, Brielle might be out on some street corner begging for change right now.

A surge of irritation flashed through Miranda, her temper flaring. “Brielle, what do you mean ‘don’t disturb you‘?” Miranda spat. “The Haywood family has supported you for so many years, and you’ve occupied Lillian’s identity for so long.

Her self–righteousness was grating. Brielle’s smile widened, “Well, I shall not repay it then.”
