Chapter 089

The expected slap didn’t land on her face, but a low, powerful voice came to her ears.

"Why? A slap isn’t enough?"

Lucia snapped her eyes open and saw a tall figure.

She glanced at Lucia.

Her expression changed and her voice became colder.

"If it’s true and you fail to do what you have said, Mr.Adams, don’t blame me for being merciless!"
