Chapter 314

“Why do you think I would agree to it?” Elspeth leaned on the couch, sneering. Man, the Winthrop brothers are crazy, except for Max. He’s the only normal one.

“Hey, suit yourself, but I’m the only one who can cure your mother.” Arthur looked at Elspeth, his gaze smug. “You don’t want her to die because of the illness, do you?”

“Why?”

“Because you saved me. I won’t kill your mother.”
