Chapter 219 Being A Clown

But what difference would his evidence make? Even if she were to hand the money over, it wouldn’t benefit him. Regardless of the worst

She scoffed, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Uriah? I’ve never even heard of his name.”

Inside the banquet hall, Calista and Sterling confronted each other, their auras starkly contrasting. One emanated icy reserve, while the other exuded a sister and mysterious presence.
