Chapter 279

Zephyr was ranting, a mix of anger and heartbreak in his voice.

Initially, Zephyr didn’t care that Belinda was of humble origins. All he cared about was that Barnett was happy with her.

But then it hit him. How on earth could Belinda have gone from a nobody to somebody, even catching Barnett’s eye and beating out all those high-born ladies to become his wife, if she didn’t have some tricks up her sleeve, if she wasn’t sharp as a tack, if she wasn’t ruthless in her ambition?

She must have had her ways, must have been clever, and must have had a knack for drawing men in to climb from the bottom to the top.

A woman like that won’t stop when she’s reached her goal. It’s just not in her nature.

She loved being the center of men’s attention and had a knack for stirring up trouble at home, causing headaches for Barnett.

In the end, it even cost Barnett his life.

Every time Zephyr thought of Barnett, his heart ached.
