Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1637

“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this.” Zavier’s eyes suddenly turned icy, a chill forming in an instant. “If my brother’s death was foul play, I’ll make whoever was behind it wish they were never born.”

made Zavier pause. He looked at Kalene as if she were a stranger. Raised in a golden cradle, his parents and brother had always been kind to him. In his heart, they were all good, loving people. He had forgotten that he only saw what they allowed him to see. The side he didn’t see
