Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 729

When Christine approached the front desk to check-in, the receptionist informed her that Gregory had booked the entire floor.

Without missing a beat, they handed her the keycard to another room.

A twitch of irritation crossed her face as she internally cursed Gregory, labeling him a cunning old fox.
