Chapter 194 Shattered Glass, Shattered Truths

Blood trickled down from Luke's foreheat He stared at me in disbelief, his bloodshot eyes brimming with a mixture of shock and pain as I clutched the vase in my hands. You actually...

Is it because I didn't kill Luke?

Still shaken. I returned to my room while Carter checked on Luke's condition.

Not long after, Adam stormed in, livid. "Carter, the Boltons isn't just yours to rule! My son's already Suffering from a serious illness and undergoing treatment. Yet, you all dared to hurt him like this!"
