Chapitre 18: 018 Mr. Hale comes back overnight to deal with her? (2 updates)

Brandon Stone hadn't expected Zoe Bell to outmaneuver him. The person before him was both familiar and unfamiliar; the girl in his memory was gentle and soft-spoken, always seen in a white dress with her long hair flowing smoothly. She had never been like today...

...all sharp edges!

Yet, more breathtakingly beautiful than ever.

As if suddenly, she had undergone a complete transformation.

"Miss Bell, you can't joke about these things." The Stone family lawyer was on the verge of a meltdown, glancing at Brandon beside him, almost passing out in frustration.

He couldn't believe Brandon was mooning over her at a time like this!

"I'm not joking." If Zoe hadn't been prepared, why would she agree to talk alone with him?

It was a trap.

But Brandon had underestimated her and dropped his guard completely.
