Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 398

Everett leaned back on the leather sofa, absently swirling his drink, silent for a stretch before speaking up in a laid-back manner. "Can't find her."

Perhaps because of the fever, when he woke up, his memories were all jumbled. It felt like he'd forgotten someone really important.
