Chapter 1003

Jordan put down the cup of tea in his hand and looked at me, saying, "I'll bring all your friends away. I'll send someone over to pick you all up tomorrow."

Sometimes, surprises could leave a person's mind blank. I looked at him for a long time, not knowing what to say.

After a moment's hesitation, I looked at him and said," I want to know why you're helping me."

Fredericks raised his eyebrows. "Will you believe me if I say that I feel differently about you?" "I won't,” I replied decisively.
