Chapter 837

“I'm so sorry, but Rowan was just taken to another examination. You caught him at a bad time.”

Klein could do nothing but nod, knowing that Rowan wasn’t a close friend, so he couldn't ask for more. “Well, I'll

The other visitors viewed her with contempt. How could Loraine get to see Rowan while they couldn't? They were

His words almost exposed his satire on Loraine and Rowan'’s relationship.

She stared at the man with cold eyes. “Who are you?”

Loraine scoffed out an angered laugh. How could she swallow that kind of insult and humiliation? Ashton was

Ashton squinted his eyes as he looked to Loraine, suddenly smirking.
