Filthy rich werewolves by Taylor Caine novel Chapter 327

Besides, if a man like him could get in danger, it did not matter whether she kneeled or not.

Even if she were to break her legs kneeling, it would not do him any good.

Her silence darkened his eyes. Without another word, he started the car and drove away.

Just then, Grace felt nothing but silence and repression in the car.

Grace went to Lina Sweeney the next day, and the two found a table at a restaurant near Lina Sweeney's house. Looking at her best friend's obvious dark eye circles, Grace reckoned she did not sleep well last night.

"What happened after you got home yesterday?" Grace asked.

"Don't go there. My parents were preparing a ransom and almost made me kneel on the washboard when I got home," Lina Sweeney said.

Grace's face was full of surprise. "Why? You didn't tell them about Hadwin Stephenson?"

"Uh, I told them that a friend I hadn't seen for a long time played a little joke on me, but I forgot to tell them. It was all a false alarm," Lina Sweeney said. She did not have the guts to tell her parents the truth.

If her parents knew that she had ‘slept’ with a man abroad, they would have done more than just roast her last night. Maybe her old man would have beaten her with a rolling pin.

"What is it with you and Hadwin Stephenson? Why did he take you away like that yesterday?" Grace asked the biggest question in her mind.
