A deal with the devil
Chapter 103 âInnocentHow do you lasow Jessica is innocent?â Nancy suddenly said, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, a mix of sorrow and beauty.
She added, âCole, it seems youâve really fallen for Jessicaâs charm. Such a take woman, even mok knows her true colors, and yet you are being manipulated by her, âI am your wife, you donât believe a single word 1 say, but you trust a woman with a shady past, with ulterior motives, who is getting close to you.
