Chapter 688

Nathalie, already on edge, became even more agitated. Her eyes, red with emotion, shot daggers at Greta. "If you don't want any trouble, you'd better back off."

Nathalie collapsed into Lincoln's arms, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, Dad..."

She felt guilty for worrying him.
