Chapter 240 Visit To The Testing Agency
The matronly figure faltered in the face of Kate’s inquiry, her countenance awash with perplexity. “I…
Before she could conclude her thought, Kate interjected sharply.
Kate’s gaze turned glacial as she regarded the middle–aged woman, turning to address the constabulary, “Officers, I harbour suspicions that she is implicated in the defacement of my establishment.
