Chapter 38

"I don't have the time to deal with those two," Adeline muttered, doing her best to avoid her father and brother. 

The charity event had not gone the way she wanted in a few ways but that was out of her control. It was expected of Liam to leave first but this time, the party was filled with questions about Veronica. 

Veronica left before they could get answers about what happened to her. 

It was a slap in the face for something Adeline worked so hard on to become a room for others to speak about Veronica. 

"Mrs. Sterling!"

Adeline wasn't in the mood to entertain speaking to Evelyn. It slipped her mind to send the Harpers out of the event quietly since they were of no use. "Evelyn, my husband and I are grateful for the donation you gave tonight. Seven thousand will go a long way I suppose."
