Yardley had returned to the Sinclair family home.

He felt deeply ashamed–but life outside hadn’t been kind either.

Pure Peart

When he finally got a moment alone with Tessa, his tone softened. “Tessa, I really know I was wrong. If you want Sinclair Corp, it’s yours. I’ll stay home and take care of your grandfather from now on.”

Tessa gave no response.

No matter what, he was still her father. But not a single word that came out of his mouth could be trusted.

“You don’t need to say all this to me,” she replied. Words meant nothing compared to actions.

“Tessa, I truly regret everything. All I want now is for the family to be peaceful. That’s all.”

Tessa nodded faintly, acknowledging she heard him, then turned and headed upstairs.
