Chapter 380

June took a leisurely sip of coffee, not intending to drag things out, and said directly, "I came here specifically to tell you something"

"What is it?" Kenneth asked, impatient.

His footsteps faltered.

Kenneth turned abruptly. "What did you say? That's impossible!

The skills? The power?" June laughed louder, each word striking at Kenneth's pride. "Mr. Harper, how could you be so naive?"
