Chapter 736

Glynnis‘ heart skipped a beat as Thaddeus walked into the room. She suddenly felt like a comered mouse, desperately wishing she could scurry away into the shadows and disappear.

Frederic’s aloof gaze swept over Thaddeus‘ stern face before he quickly got to his feet.

Dad, don’t you also want to know who’s been backstabbing Abernathy Enterprises?
