Chapter 123 - Manipulation and Mounting Frustrations
Clairemont's POV
On my drive to the office, yesterday's lunch with that bastard Liam consumed my thoughts. Every arrogant word from his mouth only deepened my loathing for that privileged fool. The condescending way he spoke to me made my blood boil, but I had to swallow my pride. I needed him for my daughter, needed him to put a ring on her finger and give her children with his precious surname. The Sterling name was my golden ticket, guaranteeing that his entire fortune would eventually flow to my daughter and grandson, and ultimately into my hands.
