Chapter 68 Past Betrayal

• Albert stared at the grand, palace-like building before him and let out a sigh. It had been a long time since he last visited the Raymond residence—or more accurately, his father’s residence. Every visit to this place inevitably ended poorly. He only came when absolutely necessary, just like now.
• Millie Matthew, or Millie Raymond, his stepmother—whatever one chose to call her—had refused to attend the business meeting scheduled for today. Adrian Raymond, Albert’s father, had entrusted his young wife with starting her own business under the Raymond Group’s umbrella.
• Normally, everything was handled by Millie’s secretary. However, when it came to meetings, Millie always made it a point to attend in person. Today, she was supposed to attend the meeting at the office, but instead, she whined like a child to have the meeting moved to the house, citing her poor health.
