Chapter 66

Vivian's eyes lit up right away. "Are you serious?" "Of course! Totally true. Word is Gabriel Evans even got punched, and Clara? She acted like a total brute. She basically pissed off the whole Evans family!" Thomas replied, casually sipping his water. "Mom, does that mean I've got a shot now?" Rachel Bennett's voice was full of hope. Ever since she'd heard the Howard family moved into Aurelius Manor, she'd been jealous beyond belief. That mansion was way more impressive than their own villa! She could barely hide her envy. Back when she was around, the Howards weren't that lucky. Now she's gone and they're suddenly rolling in wealth? Why couldn't she have that kind of life? "Exactly! I think Rachel has a real chance now. The Evanses clearly can't stand Clara anymore. If you take Rachel to meet them, they might just reconsider." That was Thomas's real motive. The entertainment world was tough these days—shoots, commercials, nonstop gigs just to keep the family afloat. He was exhausted.
