LEONARD'S POV;
This was the perfect setup. My plan was finally coming together. Catherine’s desperation to climb the social ladder had made her a perfect pawn in my game. With her new boyfriend, Robin, now in the picture, I saw an opportunity to leverage her ambitions. The money she "borrowed" on my behalf was enough to kickstart my comeback. With that, I could establish myself once more and make Liora pay for every ounce of humiliation she caused me.
And Ronan? Oh, Ronan. Always strutting around like some knight in shining armor, shielding Liora from the consequences of her actions. His smug interference grated on my nerves. It was time someone taught him a lesson. He'd regret ever getting involved in something that was none of his business.
But first, Catherine needed to finish her part of the job and the other person too.
