“There were people who used to make fun of Lydia, saying she was just a parasite living off the Lancasters. So, she threatened the girl’s parents and had her married off to an abusive gambling addict.
“She put on a show of rescuing stray cats, but in reality, she abused cats and dogs all the time. I have video evidence and hidden recordings.”
Most of the time, she handled these dirty deeds herself.
But every now and then, for the smaller things, Jasper and the Lancasters would help clean up
her mess.
Hearing him recounted Lydia’s bad deeds, Claudia and Whitney both looked furious.
Lydia always found new ways to cross the line, sinking to new lows.
Preston lay on the ground in agony, begging with everything he had. “I’ll give you everything I have on her. Please, just let me go.”
A mocking smile tugged at Claudia’s lips. “You’re quick to talk about what Lydia did, and what Jasper and the Lancasters did, but you haven’t said a word about your own part in it all.
“Preston, are you sure you’re innocent?”
Preston froze.
That was when the bodyguards Claudia had summoned walked in. “Mrs. Romero?”
Claudia gestured toward the pale–faced Preston. “This is Mr. Wood. He loves the ocean. Take him out and let him soak in seawater for a few days. Let’s see if it clears his head.”
“Yes, Mrs. Romero.”
They didn’t ask any questions, just gagged him and dragged him away.
Sterling’s video call came through just in time to see Preston being hauled out, the knife still stuck in his bloody hand.
Whitney had worried that Sterling might be shocked to see Claudia get so ruthless.
Plenty of men were ruthless themselves but couldn’t stand to see their women be anything but innocent.
But Sterling only frowned and said, “Why handle it yourself? That’s gross.”

Then he added, “Stabbing the hand like that won’t cripple him. Next time, you’ll want to go an inch lower and sever the tendons.”
He shook his head. “Ruining one hand is letting him off easy. Claudia, don’t ever go soft on people like that.”
Claudia winked playfully. “Don’t worry. That was just an appetizer. There’s more to come.”
Whitney could only stare, speechless.
I was definitely overthinking this.
These two really are made for each other.
After a while, Sterling kept dropping hints for Claudia to come home early. Whitney, finally fed up with all their flirting, couldn’t help but jump in.
She poked her head into the frame and gave a polite smile. “Mr. Romero, Claudia is here for best–friend time. Please respect my time with her, okay?”
Seriously, did this guy have to hog her best friend every minute?
Claudia had only been here one day!
Sterling greeted her with a smile. “Ms. Sawyer, thank you for looking after Claudia. I heard the Sawyer Group is looking for gemstone mines. Maybe I could offer you a few as options.”
If Sterling was offering something, it was bound to be good.
Whitney, who’d just been annoyed about Sterling flirting with her bestie right in front of her, instantly changed her tune.
She straightened up and put on a serious face.
