The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 265

The Ellington clan, besides Richard and Percival’s parents, didn’t even register on her radar. She couldn’t be bothered to spare them any thought

Whether the money spent on the stone came from her pocket or Percival’s was none of their business

“Great! It’s settled then Richard wrapped up the conversation, then turned to Cecilia. “You take care of the arrangements in the next few days. Let’s get this done sooner rather than later”

It was quite an interesting change of scenery
