The Wrong Woman

Chapter 929

"Mrs. Campbell will take good care of her. Candice is drunk, so why put her through the hassle of moving around? Go, go, go. Go back home and sleep." Jasper said, "Candice is engaged now. It's inappropriate for her to stay overnight at your house."

"Being engaged doesn't mean she has no freedom."
