The Unexpected Heir sweet revenge
Chapter fifteenCharlie leaned in slightly, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. "It has become apparent to me that you hold a deep resentment towards the Thompson family. I don't mean to pry into your personal matters, but I can't help but be curious. Are they genuinely bad people? Should I reconsider collaborating with them?"Victoria's response was swift as she shook her head, a quick and decisive gesture of denial."I understand that it is a personal matter for you," Charlie responded neutrally, his expression attentive as Victoria began to explain her feelings towards the Thompson family.
