Chapter 264

Cathy was all riled up, but Richard wasn’t inclined to continue arguing with her

He turned to Helorse “And then there’s your eldest son. He spends all his days obsessing over his paintings.

Cathy and Heloise fell silent.

Percival was a good–for–nothing. They’d never believe such news out of the blue

But given Richard’s eamestness, they found themselves having to reconsider the way they thought of Percival

Heloise stayed silent but Cathy was unable to let Vivienne off so easily.
