The Bound Between Us

Chapter 588

Julie's voice had a tinge of irony to it. She'd become a shell of her former self, all thanks to the Salstrom family. She loathed every single one of them.

"What's the hurry?" Rowan shot back. "Elysian Technologies isn't going to fall apart overnight. Connor's put in a lot of effort, and all he managed to do was make Herman lose some pocket change." "Money means nothing to Herman," Julie spat. "He's obsessed with Anastasia. Destroy her, and he'll really know what pain is."

Rowan smirked, "Are you trying to tell me how to do my job?"
