Chapter 998

• Simon knew better than to be too confident. Even if Gavin’s attention shifted to Gracy and he no longer cared about Liza, there was still another obstacle—the Jayce Family. Ivea would never sit back and do nothing if Liza went missing.
• His expression darkened as old memories resurfaced. He recalled the years he spent married to Ivea, how he had to abide by the Jayce Family’s every command. Even though the Rhett family had gained power and wealth from that union, he never felt gratitude—only resentment. Their influence over him had suffocated him, and the bitterness still lingered.
• But despite his grievances, he wasn’t foolish enough to challenge the Jayce Family directly. If they came demanding Liza’s whereabouts, he needed a convincing excuse.
