Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2488

When Mike and Lexie arrived, they found a couple sitting there looking utterly worn out, being consoled by Brady.

"Our boy got obsessed with those vloggers exploring the Mourndrift Range," the mother sobbed. "He kept begging to go on some jungle trek… We caved in the end and let him hike the nearby woods instead…
