Chapter 1005

“Let me tell you something,” he began, his voice filled with mischief. Whenever I was out with these buddies of mine, lan would never answer my calls. He would just hang up on me.

Ryan kept hanging up, but this time, lan sent him a video call request.

Ryan nearly dropped his glass of whisky. He knew lan was desperate, but he didn’t expect him to be this desperate.

Ryan was a bit scared now, worried about what might happen when lan eventually showed up.

He quickly turned to Maja.
