Capítulo 223: Chapter 212: Xiu Bao, A True Decryption Expert of the Lanci Clan_1

Prince Aynor finally gathered the courage to apologize sincerely to Carlen.

Carlen's voice wavered, and although she was visibly hurt, she forced herself to smile as she spoke through her tears,

"No, that's not true at all."
