The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 64 A Marriage He Never Chose

Nancy’s flawless, perfectly composed face was now tight with tension and anxious hope. James reall called you?” Nancy asked, her voice trembling.

Blanc, usually the calm and unshakable businessman, looked visibly rattled. His fingers were shaking, He turned a cold stare on Ivan. “If you’re messing with me, I swear, you’re gonna regret it

“I’m not!” Ivan looked downright offended, like he’d just been wrongly convicted of something. Dad I swear I’m telling the truth. Look–check the call log” He quickly handed over his phone. James really called me just now. But… I think there’s some kind of misunderstanding with Lily. He said she–he said she assaulted him. He told me to call the cops.”
