Chapter 771

Chapter 771

That night, The Velvet Haven was abuzz with whispers and shadowy movements.

This establishment of yours, The Velvet Haven, it’s time it goes under.”

Elsie’s eyelashes fluttered with a strange sense of satisfaction.

But Hans didn’t care. He was Sir’s man and only followed Sir’s orders.
