Chapter 318

Her tone was chilly with a hint of defiance.

She had no intention of provoking an official's son.

Raiden was startled as if he had seen through her thoughts. “You're right. I have overstepped my bounds,” he said with a chuckle. “All right, then.

“Was it you who'd loaded the data into the computer at City Hall?” Justin began brusquely as soon as he took a seat.
