Chapter 628: Chapter 621 - Perfectly Crafted Deception

As Skylar finished recounting the painful memory, a melancholic smile tugged at his lips. It had been a while since he had spoken to Lucas, and although a part of him was curious about where Lucas might be at that very moment, Skylar remained resolute in the promise he had made to himself.

From that moment forward, he vowed to judge people not by the words they uttered, but by the sincerity of their deeds.
