Aurora stared at Emily in disbelief. Her mind struggled to process what she had just heard.
"What do you mean, Sophia betrayed us?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Emily wiped her tears with trembling fingers, her expression filled with pain and anger.
"She was poached by a billionaire, Aurora. And because of that, she turned her back on me... on us."
Aurora's brows furrowed. "A billionaire? Who? And what does he have to do with your justice?"
Emily took a shaky breath and forced herself to explain.
"His name is Victor Hawthorne. A ruthless, cunning man with more power and influence than we could have ever imagined. And do you know what the worst part is?"
Aurora's heart pounded in her chest. "What?"
Emily let out a bitter laugh, her eyes dark with fury.
"It turns out that my ex-husband, George, is his illegitimate son."
Aurora's mouth went dry. "What?"
Emily nodded, her voice trembling with barely contained rage.
