Chapter 138

After finishing his shift at the hospital, Emmanuel drove his Maserati straight

to Terence Group the next day.

To his surprise, he ran into Beatrix just as she got out of her car at the

Frowning, the man stepped out of his car and approached her, adopting a

was also her brother–in–law. She felt obligated to show him some respect.
