Chapter 192

Stephan thought, "Why should I care if you're cold?"

Abbie's expression froze, her face pale as Stephan's distant and indifferent attitude hit her. It was cold and heartless. She had no choice but to use her trump card, cautiously saying, "Mr. Russell, you promised to compensate me..."

Her voice was soft, and Felicia didn't hear what she said as there was some distance between them. From her perspective, she could only see the beauty with tears in her eyes, making her seem even more pitiable.
