Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 642

That dorm drama you had the other day was definitely connected to her."

"I figured. Thanks, Harvey."

...

Fueled by the endless energy of youth, the class erupted in excitement at the prospect of another fight, especially with the rumor of an expert arriving.

The guys, in particular, scrambled to gather water, sports drinks, and snacks, dragging over benches to get a good view.

Instructor Vance even invited his comrade, Callum Young, to back him up.

Mira had just changed into her tactical gear and stepped onto the training ground when a brand-new, limited-edition Rolls-Royce pulled right up to the edge of the field.

Knowing it was Owen, she turned and walked toward the vehicle.

"Don't think I'll go easy on you just because your friends are watching."

York said with a smirk.

"If she starts losing, we're jumping in to beat you up."

"It'd be an honor to take a beating from you all."
