Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Chapter 2037 Toys

Since we’re still healthy and agile, we can help you with it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to protect yourself if you run into any dangers again.”

In the past, Francesca had always stuck to her master’s teachings of not making poison, but with how things were going, she knew it was time for a change.

“Good,” Lincoln said, nodding in relief as he grabbed a leather bag from the shelf and handed it to her. “Here’s your most treasured possession. I found it for you.”

“You found it?”
