Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 83

Both Mira and Rachel paused for a moment before understanding what he meant. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

“You’ve got it all wrong. This is the nanny from my house, the woman who raised me. And I didn't cause her injuries. It was that recently returned Mara who did it.”

“What?”

“Okay, let’s not talk about it now. Let’s just get in the car first,” Mira said, cutting the conversation short.

Once they were in the car, Mira told Kieran, “Kieran, I’ve severed ties with the Mercer family.”

“What? You severed ties!”

After a moment of thought, however, he seemed to understand. Considering the recent online drama surrounding the Mercers, Kieran, a seasoned player in the business world, quickly put the pieces together.

Once he calmed down, he asked, “Completely severed?”

Mira nodded and, while they were stopped at a red light, she showed him the severance agreement.

“Why so suddenly?”

Mira gave him a brief account of what had happened at the house that day.

“I knew your relationship with your family was strained, but I never imagined it had reached a breaking point.”

“Honestly, cutting ties with them was already part of my plan. What happened with Rachel today just became the catalyst.”

Rachel couldn’t help but ask, “But, child, you left them because of me. What will you do now?”

“School is about to start. Your tuition isn’t cheap, and you’ll need money for food and housing. How will you manage?”
