Chapter 323

As soon as Zane returned to his study and was about to sit down, his phone rang

Glancing at the name flashing on the screen, he didn’t need to think twice to know why Jeremy was calling it was befminely about what had happened that afternoon.

Zane hadn’t expected Fabian to act so quickly. In just a short time, word had already reached the Murphy Family

With a slight swipe of his finger, Zane answered the call without saying a word jeremy’s voice immediately came through the receiver. “Zane, I nearly didn’t live to see tomorrow because of you
