Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 199

Drusilla was firm in her words, her eyes blazing with a determination that made Harlan take a step back.

"Are you serious?" he asked, disbelief coloring his tone.

In his world, women were practically throwing themselves at him—what made her think she could stand so tall?

"Dead serious. So, keep your hands to yourself, or I can't promise I won't spill the beans to Lilith," she warned.

A smirk tugged at Harlan's lips, his pride pricked. He thought she was just being pretentious, hiding behind Enoch like he was some kind of shield.

"Do you even realize once Enoch's kids are brought back into the Taylor family, you'll be nothing but a distant memory?

"Say it again." Harlan's anger was palpable now, a chill emanating from him that was unmistakable.

"You're always climbing the social ladder on women's backs! There, I said it again. What are you going to do about it?"
