Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 234

Questions came at Jeremy like a machine gun.

Jeremy's mood immediately took a nosedive. "Is that what you've been learning from hanging out with Ursula all these years? How to talk trash about others?"

Sirena stammered, "No, I didn't mean..."

"She's Ronald's foster sister."

At Jeremy's revelation, Sirena's mouth formed a perfect O of surprise.
