Chapter 231

The moment it was noon, Larissa received Dylan’s call. He was already waiting for her in Regal Dynasty’s cafe with Mr. Sharpe, and with them was an important witness, Maria Durham. Because there was no challenge as to how this case would end, they were all pretty relaxed.

Mr. Sharpe only emphasized a couple of points that Larissa and Maria needed to be clear on during their testimony. When they expressed their understanding, he did not say more.

Maria, however, excitedly chatted with Larissa.
