Chapter 39 Zion Pence’s eyes quickly flickered with disgust. When he met Holly Crowe’s cold gaze, he quickly shook his head, looking incredulous. “It can’t be! Mia Chapelle clearly said it was just a meal with Frederick Fletcher! Why… why would it turn out like this p> Zion instinctively stepped

Chapter 35 In the hotel suite, the heavy odor of smoke mingled with the pungent smell of alcohol. Frederick Fletcher sat cross-legged on the sofa, a cigarette between his fingers, the crimson ember flickering in and out. A haphazardly applied band-aid was stuck on the back of his hand. The
Chapter 34 Shane Yates stole a glance at the gloomy man beside him, and couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned. “Hey! I just followed your instructions and said what you taught me. Holly Crowe had a last-minute thing, it’s not my fault, right? If you ask me, you should

Chapter 30 Holly received Zion Pence’s messages a day later. A dozen or so messages from an unfamiliar number crowded the screen.
