Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 392



Jaxon lunged at Zoe, looking to land a punch, but Bran sent him flying with a swift kick. "Come on, man, hitting a woman? Show some class." Jaxon hit the ground hard, groaning as he struggled to get up.

Annora was in tears, too scared to even look at Jaxon.

Panic started to spread.
