Chapter 559

Xander and Ronald's conversation ended on a sour note.

Leaving the study, Xander headed straight to find Stella, who was still in the medical room.

When Yvonne announced she wanted to marry Xander, Lottie was immediately alarmed. Pulling her aside, she demanded, "What are you thinking? Is this something to be taken lightly?"
