Chapter 27\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane\u2019s face turned ashen. The misty sadness in her eyes was gone, replaced by bitter\u00a0<\/p>\n
resentment and raw ambition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She bit her lip hard, staring at the closed door for a long time before finally pulling out her phone and making a call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Whitfield, it\u2019s me, Sloane. We spoke before. Logan hasn\u2019t told you, right? I\u2019m pregnant. The doctor said I\u2019m showing signs of possible miscarriage.
