Chapter 2428

Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris.

Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.

Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness.
