Chapter 96

Nicole went to sit beside Henry. Everyone was belting out in the room, which caused quite a clamor.

Stretching his neck, Henry cast a glance at Nicole and pressed his hand to suppress his nervousness. At the thought of how she had abandoned him five years ago, he became resentful toward her. Nevertheless, he remembered Queenie's assignment for him, so he still endured his emotions.
