The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 761

Harrison's voice was as smooth and warm as ever, familiar yet distant.

Kaitlyn froze, and as she descended the steps of the courthouse, led by Vivienne's firm grip, she couldn't help but glance up.

The hatred in her voice was hoarse, eerily reminiscent of a vengeful spirit's howl from the depths of hell.
