The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 530 Childhood Sweethearts, Loving Couples, All Just Illusions

Hector experienced deep sadness and remorse when he thought of Sky. As the Walker Group's heir, Sky had been raised by his parents with great expectations and dreams. However, due to Emma's actions, he found himself incarcerated.
