Chapter 205: Provocation
On the other end of the line, the head agent’s voice was icy. "Miss Bennett, I’m sorry, but we will compensate you for this. You’re a rising star with a solid reputation, and you have the potential to become a major figure in Country H or even Country S. If you want to make this public, feel free to do so."
