Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 887

Chapter 887

Arianna never expected to suffer defeat at the hands of such a person. She thought she had everything under control and figured her only hurdle would be her uncle. However, she did not realize one of her henchmen would ultimately betray her.

Eloise looked as if she had aged ten years as she sat across the table, with gray hair showing on two sides. "Ari..." Her eyes were reddish and still swollen. She had never looked so miserable.

"Are you happy seeing me like this?" Arianna curled her dried lips. "Now you can depend on your precious son to give you a life of comfort, huh? You're just like dad. All you guys care about are your sons. Why bother to give birth to me, then?"
