Since I spent an exorbitant amount on them, I’ll be distressed if they wither.” After she’d said this, she chuckled. “In fact, I

He vowed that he’d definitely help Ian take the reins in the Morgan Family one day before having the two rat b*stards, Sally and Simon, kneel before him in repentance. Then, he even spoke of Leah, saying that the old woman was vicious, so she would certainly be kicked away by Bryce
