Chapter 12 He Did Not Go

• Kathryn's POV:
• I had a lasting impression of Cornelius. There was this one time when Lucian got drunk while discussing business. I went to pick him up and found someone taking care of him by his side.
• Although my interaction with him lasted less than five minutes, the way Cornelius scrutinized me, like a predator sizing up its prey, made me feel as if he could tear me apart at any moment. He seemed like a very dangerous man.
