Chapter 291: An Unexpected Invite
Arthur threw the journal at the floor disgusted by everything. He turned to his side and gently patted Talia’s head.
Should you read the journal and decide for yourself how cruel Cyrus was? Or should you be blissfully ignorant? If you ask me for answers, what should I tell you?

"You’re trying to keep her for yourself, right?" Gregory was unimpressed. "Rod was the best. He introduced his wife to me one month to their relationship. And you-"
