With the Macclain family bankrupt, Simone had lost her former glamour. In just a few months, she had aged considerably, and her
old arrogance was gone.
Estelle’s expression was as cool as ever. “What do you want?”
Bet glanced at Simone, then smiled paternally. “We heard you were getting married. Your mother wanted to see you. We heard
