Chapter 240 

Then, her tone changed, and she looked worried. “Is your injury hested? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you… L‘ 

She didn’t mean to hurt Mariels either. 

It was all Lauryn’s fault! 

But she just couldn’t bring herself to say it. 

Her father was still in Lauryn’s control. 

She had been tortured in the telecom fraud center for over a month. She hated Lauryn more than anyone and wanted her dead.
