Chapter 1837 Reunion with an Old Acquaintance

Bella's heart sank, her expression instantly crumbling. She had run through countless scenarios, but the thought of the puppeteer behind Valor Corporation being him had never crossed her mind!

"Long time no see, Bella." The man, donning sunglasses and smirking, opened his arms as if expecting a hug.

Bella stood her ground, fixating on him with intensity. "How on earth did you get out of jail?"
