No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 120



This story is true. The person who used to call him that was long ago kicked out of his circle and even driven out of Seabreeze City by him. Conrad is incredibly petty. Luckily, he doesn't wield much power, or else anyone who crossed him wouldn't stand a chance.

Haley's face turned from red to white in an instant. "What are you talking about?"
