Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 255

Joy stopped her tirade mid-rant when the person in question bolted, leaving her fuming.

Then there was that assistant, looking like he couldn’t decide if he was more human or hound, who had the audacity to bring a recorder, suggesting she finish her rant into it so they could play it back for Mr. Richardson later

The other was that Derek found himself amidst shattered glass, an image
