Chapter 330

Before Artemis could say anything, Bailey went on, “I know the words I'm about to say will hurt you, but I'm still going to say it. The world has labeled me as your brother's property.

Justin hesitated briefly before he asked tentatively, “How are you planning to break the news to Scarlett?”
