Chapter 238 So, I’ve Misunderstood Matthew

Cory Island was an obscure island where a hellish training took place. The people who went there would have a taste of what it felt like to be in hell, but they would return as whole new people after the arduous drill.

Veronica headed straight to her company. Since it was rush hour, it took her longer to arrive due to the traffic. Not long after she alighted from the car, Matthew could be seen standing
