Chapter 544: Sad and bad
"How is it deception if it’s true?"
Despite all the voices heard tonight, that particular voice somehow caught everyone’s attention. The crowd instinctively turned their heads toward its owner.

"Dean Pierson?" she blinked. "But didn’t you say it was Zoren Pierson, not Dean Pierson, who was friends with the Bennets?"
