Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 456

Half an hour later. The imposing Maybach came to a commanding stop outside a nondescript building on the outskirts of the city–a private detention facility.

As soon as the door swung open, Frederick caught sight of the handcuffed culprit and his eyes widened in shock.
