Chapter 90

Chapter of her life.

She wouldn't even have to lift a finger.

The Benton family would surely arrange a marriage far more prestigious than anything Jonny could offer.With her beauty and the Bentons backing her, why stop at Elepdon? Even marrying a Breoquan prince wasn't impossible!

Lainey's excitement swelled so much that she barely noticed Kurt stepping out. "Lainey? When did you get here? Why didn't you go inside?" His brows furrowed with concern. "Did Jonny upset you again? If he did, just tell me, and I'll take care of it."

The affection in his tone was evident, but now it only rang hollow.

He was just an adoptive father. Compared to the possibilities she had just uncovered, what was Kurt Gilbert worth?

Her interest in humoring him evaporated. Brushing past him without a second glance, she said flatly, "I just got here. I'm tired. I'm going to my room."

Kurt blinked after her,bewildered.

Why was his daughter suddenly so distant?

Surely Jonny had wronged her again.

His fists clenched at his sides. One way or another, he would make that boy pay.

Lainey ddn't deserve to be treated this way.
