Chapter 998

Rick barely glanced at Sophie before quickly looking away, saying, "Anyway, this has nothing to do with Ms. Elodie."

"Come on, Rick, stop covering for Mr. Gordon. If he didn't love Ms. Elodie to bits, why would he treasure the medicine she sent so much? Mr. Gordon couldn't even bring himself to take it just now!"

William was scared into silence by Rick's threat.
