I Was His Wife, Then His Widow, Then No One's But My Own novel Chapter 232

Seraphina took over with a cold laugh, her tone laced with disdain. "If Nora is really as amazing as you claim, why hasn't she achieved anything up to this day? Dr. Ford, maybe you shouldn't view people through such rose-tinted glasses."

Felix glared at her, his fists clenching and unclenching at his sides.

Finnegan's brows furrowed deeply.
