Evelyn Grant instantly went still, ceasing her struggles.
To Julian Sterling, her reaction was an infuriating sight. He even found himself wishing she wouldn't be cowed by his threat—or that she would tell him she had nothing to do with his brother!
But, no.
Evelyn Grant's expression was a clear, tacit admission of her relationship with Ryan Sterling.
Julian Sterling's handsome face instantly darkened. "Feeling guilty?"
"Why should I feel guilty?"
"You got involved with Ryan, and you think that's something to be proud of? Don't you know our relationship?"
Evelyn Grant's lips curled. "I know. But you of all people should know why I ended up with him..."
"..."
"If you expose what's between me and him, then I'll tell my mother how you tried to get me sentenced to death—all for another woman!"
Julian Sterling scoffed. "You won't tell her."
'Her mother's health could never withstand such a shock.'
'It would probably land her in the hospital again!'
