The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“All things considered, this punishment isn’t as severe as it should be.”

Why did you feel the need to block his assailant with your own body?” She was visibly angry when she had first arrived, but her expression instantly softened when she caught sight of Laney’s bandaged shoulder.
