“Waldron is my friend,” udia said
“Friend?” Edmond frowned with a chilly expression on his face. “I never thought you’d be friends with
someone like Waldron.”

wouldn’t have anyone willing to associate with him.
“What’s wrong with him?” udia’s eyes flickered with disdain and sarcasm. “And how much better are
you, Mr. Lamont?”
Waldron might be unreliable, but he was at least on her side. Edmond, on the other hand, consistently
opposed her decisions and asked her to quit.
The more shepared them, the more she leaned towards Waldron. Favoritism seeped into her
words. “Please, Mr. Lamont, do not be so mean to my friend.”
Edmond’s eyes darkened, a spark of anger igniting. “Do you even know what you’re saying?”

yboy. You can’t change that.”
“What does that have to do with me?”

has been buried by you, hasn’t it?”
