Chapter 55

Julia was upset because it was because of her… "It isn’t your fault. It’s mine, but I hope that you can let Nicole go. Don't release the footage as well."

Ashton couldn’t grasp what was going through Julia’s mind. His face looked like the bottom of a pot, his dark pupils faintly shining with a dark scarlet gleam. "Are you pitying Nicole? Do you know that if she were to have succeeded, your situation wouldn’t be any better than hers?"
