An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 1309 – A Unwanted Bet

“Miss Hazel, that’s a bit too much,” Carlos finally spoke. “Roselyn is my junior sister, and it’s not proper to speak like this.”

“Oh? So Mr. Carlos is here too? What a coincidence,” Hazel feigned surprise and then continued with a mocking tone. “No wonder Roselyn has the privilege to enter Emperor’s Pavilion.
