What first caught Julian’s attention was not the surveillance footage.

Regardless of whether the surveillance had captured Enzo’s violence, he wouldn’t let that man off easily!

He looked at Winnie and asked, “Who gave you this?”

How could it be identical to the pill Matt Hughes had tried to give Diana before?

hospital room with Mommy, okay?”
