The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Hertha always had a way of talking to Alaric that was blunt and direct, no beating around the bush.

Her aim was to keep Alaric's focus on her, to prevent him from digging into whether Emmeline was a single mom or not.

It was incredibly coincidental when Emmeline, accompanied by Julian and Helena, was about to take the elevator and ran into Alaric. This allowed him to witness Emmeline with her two kids.

What did it matter to him if someone was a single mother? Why was he so invested?
