When Laurence heard that news that Lord Ethan had broken up with Kylie, he had chuckled. He had predicted that the relationship would not last, and he'd been right. Lord Ethan was a good and honorable man and was completely out of Kylie's league. As was her way, she had likely pretended to be something other than who she was.
