CHAPTER 4: The Hidden Past

What no one knew was this:
Months ago, Mrs. Carter had chosen to visit her own properties anonymously.
No security.
No title.
No privilege.
She wanted to see the truth—how people were treated when no one important was watching.
And today…
she saw everything.
Victoria’s voice.
Her arrogance.
Her cruelty.
That wasn’t a mistake.
It was who she really was.
The man leaned closer to Victoria.
“She asked for one thing,” he said quietly.
May you like
“Respect.”
“And you couldn’t even give her that.”
