Hope’s POV
“Leon Ashcroft? Of all the damn men in Ashbourne, you chose Leon Ashcroft?” Gabriel's voice shook with anger. In all eighteen years of my life, I'd never seen him this furious with me.
My parents weren't any calmer.
“When did this even begin?” Mom demanded, her face tense. "And don't even think about lying, Hope.”
“Maybe we shouldn't do this here,” Dad said, grimacing. “We don't need the household staff gossiping.”
“No, we're doing this right here,” Gabriel growled before turning towards Harper. “You knew she was dating Leon. Your f*****g brother belongs to that club. You know who Leon is, and you let this happen?”
I frowned. Ryder belonged to Leon's club?
Right. I'd seen the name of this club thing on his vest.
“I didn't know the Leon she was dating was Leon Ashcroft!
