Chapter 2747 Steven‘s expression changed when he heard Gwen‘s words. After a few seconds, he furrowed his brow and looked at Gwen. “I know my family and the Miller family have done you wrong. We can compensate you...”
“Compensate?” Gwen looked up and stared at Steven with a cold, hateful gaze. “What compensation can you possibly give me? Can you return Luke to me? Can you do that?”
Steven took a step back when he saw the hatred in Gwen‘s eyes, and his heart throbbed painfully. He knew she was devastated and that she had been trying hard to suppress her emotions vehemently.
