Chapter 196: Twisting The Knife
"Before we start," Rory hid the deep anger rising in her heart against Sidney with a pretty smile. "I want to ask, how are you doing, Sidney?" she asked tilting her head a little and her eyes softened with care.
This was the last chance she was giving Sidney to back off. If she is not taking it, she is going to ruin Sidney.
Sidney smiled with a slight nod. Her eyes reddened and she bit her lips. She looked uncomfortable a little as she bowed her head and fixed her skirt which didn’t need any fixing.
Good, Rory thought, it means that she is feeling guilty.
The lawyers took their seats beside their clients and they stayed silent as the women were giving their greetings. Their relationship is very complicated as everyone in the country knows. It was made complicated by the involvement of a monster.
But the undeniable fact is that one of these women saved the other from death.
But when she looked up, all Rory saw were dollar signs in her eyes. She had made her decision. That was good because Rory was not planning on sparing any grace.
Why should she respect someone who values money over relations?
In this debacle, Rory understood that Dorothy Roberts was the smartest person ever. Although she didn’t have access to the details like her grandmother did, Dorothy found that something is not right with Lennon and his wife just by her instinct. She tried her best to keep those two from the family.
Too bad she didn’t voice her instinct. And she was seen as some jealous wife who hated her husband’s illegitimate son. She did keep the secret that Lennon was not her husband’s son for a long time and let him stay in her home all because her husband wanted her to.
