No longer a pushover

Chapter 605

Chapter 605

Noelle's response was downright brutal—and she did not even try to hide it.

Tommy immediately snapped, "What's wrong with you? Ms. Merlock is being

Tommy's face turned red with rage. "Who the hell do you think you are? Just

I've never had any engagement with the Merlocks. The ones who keep spreading

would he humiliate her like this?
