The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 544:

Leah, ever perceptive, noticed the subtle shift in Clarissa’s demeanor. A brief flicker of coldness passed through her eyes as she asked, “Miss Holland, you don’t look so well. Are you sure you’re alright?”

“How about we take a break and sit down at a café nearby?”
