“Rose is such a fool.” Alyssa felt as though her heart was cut with a knife, making it hard for her to

“With your status, you’re not even worthy to know who I am.”
Silas sneered. “But let me remind you of one thing. What you’re doing now has crossed legal
boundaries and violated a woman’s will. I can sue you at any time.”
“Sue me? Haha! Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am?” George was both angry and
