Chapter 142 Time Will Tell 

YouMadam Young was so livid she was at a loss for words. Her hand shook as she pointed at Moore, and it was quite a while before she managed to hiss, In your dreams! Even if I’m gone, I’ll make sure you never get a foot into the door of the Youngs.”

Considering Moore’s usual style, should she not be buttering up Madam Young instead of going toe- totoe with her, especially since she was not officially in the family yet

I did not bother answering. Instead, I took my seat at the table where Zoe had already set everything up. She waved us over, signaling it was time to dig in

The law might have let Moore off the hook, and of course I was mad at first. However, after some hard thinking, I came to terms with it. That did not mean I was about to forget the whole thing, though

Every single moment from that nightmare at the border five years ago, every sleepless night since- they were etched in my memory. If Moore thought she was going to get away with it, she did not know 

me at all. 

Zoe had us all out for dinner, which was half about briefing us on the project and half, I suspected, an excuse to see Maxwell. She seemed pretty smitten with him

As we wrapped up, I caught Zoe’s eye and asked, Did not drive over tonight?” 

She shot a quick look at Maxwell, nodded, and murmured, I’ll just grab a cab home later.”
