Facade of Love

Chapter 35 Do You Hate Me?

My heart skipped a beat. This matter was initially just about the murder of the CFO of Scott Corporation, but if the reporters caught me and Idris together, it would not be a simple murder case anymore.

The death of a CFO with the heirs of two major companies on–site would make for news much more sensational than a simple
