His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 495

Confronting Tessa, the very person who had saved his father's life, the man not only failed to express his gratitude but instead cast her a peculiar glance. Worst yet, his tone carried an unsettling edge.

With his chin slightly raised, his expression was one of arrogance and indifference, even tinged with disdain.
