The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2041

Meanwhile, Ralph, following Bella's instructions, had people closely monitoring Aaron's movements.

After handling all the funeral arrangements for Lance, Christopher visited his mother, Sophie, at a top- tier nursing home in Savrow.

Sophie had withered away to little more than skin and bones. She sat in a wheelchair with her back to her son, tended to by a caregiver, basking in the sunlight of a garden.
