The Million-Dollar Heart

Arthur's eyes blazed with intensity, making her shiver. "The chair is made of oak, you're wearing flats, and yet you claim you're unsteady?"

Alyssa's face flushed with embarrassment and then went pale. She stuttered, "Arthur, this is too harsh. What about the bond between the Wrights and the Linklaters?" Arthur's words were cold and direct, cutting deep. "There's no bond between us. You're trying to pin blame on my wife out of thin air. I won't forgive that!"

She didn't need to speak or act; Arthur's support was her vindication.

Alyssa was seething with hatred.

Her ruthless tone sent shivers down Alyssa and her attendants' spines.
