Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 565

Halley had been to college, for heaven's sake. Basic common sense, especially regarding something as crucial as contracts, should have been second nature to him. "I've been swamped lately, you see, with this new project. There wasn't a contract template to follow, so... I forgot to include the breach clause when drafting it."

"...Losses?"
