Chapter 183 Andrew shrugged casually.


    Those are your words, not mine.


    This finally pushed Jerry over the edge as he angrily shouted, You fool! Stop trying to sow discord! Ive served the Rhodes family faithfully for over 20 years.


    Do you think your petty.


    words can discredit my loyalty? In his fury, Jerry turned to Lauren and said respectfully, Ms Rhodes, this pretty boy is insulting me.

    Beside ity Tracias stiff corpse


    Two figures emerged from the shadows Michael and the sinister looking Bane.


    Tracias dead? Who could have done this in this ce full of nothing but farmers? Michael eximed in disbelief.
