Chapter 1129:

Ken and Jayden had already donned aprons and were firing up the grill.

Edward sauntered to Jayden, his voice dripping with arrogance. “You sprinted off like you were about to perform miracles, but here you are, just grilling meat. You’d better make it exceptional. If it’s subpar, don’t blame me for being harsh.”

Jayden responded coolly, “I understand completely. Don’t worry.”
