Chapter 639

Jack knew well what kind of situation she was in, so he said casually, "T'll be relying on both you and Mr.Morrison for this collaboration, so let me express my thanks first."

With that, he raised his glass and downed it.

Roxanne lifted her glass politely and took a few sips as well.
