Chapter 391
He probably should have been nicer to her if he knew that she was this capable, but there was no use for Tony Cummins to
regret it now.
After hearing her husband’s words, Melinda Riley could not help but scorn. “How did Jason take a fancy to an ex-convict like her? It was Jason’s fiancée she killed!”
“How would I know?” grumbled Tony Cummins.
“Hey, she’ll probably be kept a secret no matter what,” said Melinda Riley. “Unlike Evelyn who is official… Evelyn can marry into the Hart family. Wasn’t it Evelyn who gave us the money
