Chapter 759

Tom’s face was grave as he looked deeply at Rachel. “Rae-Rae, listen to my advice and don’t get involved. I…”

“I can’t just sit by and do nothing.” Rachel’s gaze turned cold inch by inch, and an indiscernible emotion flickered in her eyes. “Are you saying you want to pretend to be muddle-headed? Or that you were deceived by Harold’s honest and

Tom seemed hesitant to answer this question.
