Chapter 1211

Back in school, there were tons of girls who had a crush on Zane. He was the whole package: good grades, tall and handsome, smart, ambitious, and, to top it off, he actually had a decent personality. Basically, he was that guy who seemed to have it all together.

Elysia, though, wasn't buying it. She scrunched up her nose and muttered,

"Doesn't matter how perfect he looks on paper. He's rotten to the core. The guy's just filthy inside and out."

Just then, Keaton and Tarquin walked in. Keaton immediately jumped in with his two cents,

Tarquin just rolled his eyes, didn't bother responding, and instead wandered over to stand closer to his wife.

Elysia nodded her approval.

Keaton puffed up immediately, grinning,
