The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 739
Gavin's eyes flashed a warning as he glanced at Victoria, "Since we've given our word to the Grimshaws, we can't break it. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how many times you've visited them-it won't do any good."
He signaled to Harrison, who immediately stepped forward to help Sophie up, "Miss Sophie, Victoria speaks her mind. Don't take offense. Better get up from the floor-it's cold, and you wouldn't want to catch a chill. Dad would be worried sick."
"Get lost-I don't need your help."
Sophie shook off Harrison's hand with a defiant look. She wasn't foolish.
Wasn't Harrison's remark just a blatant admission that Victoria was right?
Everyone looked down on her, including her own father, who always claimed to love her the most!
Was it just because Victoria held the title of the legitimate daughter?
If it weren't for her mother's relentless pursuit, that status should have rightfully been hers!
Biting her lower lip in frustration, she said, "Dad, I was just trying to help. Victoria's been trying to get something from Kaitlyn for ages with no results. I thought I'd go to Mr. Grimshaw myself to buy her some time, so if she comes up empty-handed, at least the Grimshaws won't blame us."
"With you?" Victoria scoffed from her perch, legs crossed leisurely. "Ridiculous. Dad, don't worry. I'll retrieve the item before the deadline. And when I do, you better not forget what you promised." Gavin's expression shifted, "That's if you can actually get it."
"What did you promise Victoria, Dad?" Sophie's mind raced with the possibility of it being something like the Abernathy estate.
She spun around anxiously, "How about I give you a suggestion, sis? Even if Kaitlyn is tough, her entourage is nothing but dead weight. Why don't we send more people to snatch her daughter? She'll have to hand over the recipe then."
