Chapter 1470 The Sentences

• "In other words, you're determined to sow discord in the Sawyer Family, huh?" Madeline questioned sharply. The way she worded her question was sly because it sounded as though Tessa was the reason the Sawyers were at odds with each other.
• An amused Tessa looked at her. "Don't you think that's rather unreasonable of you to say that, Aunt Madeline?
