Chapter 165

“We’ve offended her, we’re gonna have a hard time later…”

She doesn’t really care, she can always seek protection from Mr. Laurence, but Eleanor…

If Joelle finds out about Eleanor and Mr. Laurence’s relationship, it’s gonna be bad.

Liana couldn’t bear to think about it, her mind filled with images of a girl being tortured to death.

Eleanor saw the scared look on Liana’s face and felt guilty. “I’m sorry, Dr. Terrill, I’ve dragged you into this.”
