Chapter 26 Cruel

Half an hour later, they arrived at Moonlight Manor.

Alston glanced up at the apartment where Cecilia lived. It was modest in size, with a simple and elegant design.

Though not situated in the bustling downtown area, Alston remembered that Cecilia had a car.

At least transportation wasn't an issue.

Brian had the nerve to say Cecilia had suffered greatly during her three years with the Fabers! Clearly, he had been charmed by Cecilia!

A layer of cold malice flickered in his eyes. After a while, he pushed open the car door and stepped out, reaching to open the rear door.

Gladys had been dozing off, but Alston's icy tone jolted her awake.

"Get out of the car!" she heard him say sharply.

Looking around and seeing Moonlight Manor, she summoned her energy and got out of the car, grasping Alston's sleeve. "Daddy, are we going in together?"

Feeling a hint of sensitivity in Gladys' demeanor, she sensed Alston's disfavor toward her. He seemed cautious in his speech.
