The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 599

As Lucian first heard her words, a twinge of guilt wormed through his heart, but the moment the rest of the sentence filtered through, his expression shifted.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that she saved him and his mother, he would have exposed the damn video and called off their engagement right then and there.
