Chapter 718: Connor understood the situation now and couldn't suppress a smile.
He looked at Buwith interest and asked, "So, what happened next?" Burolled his eyes in frustration. "Your wife is incredibly ruthless. She had the bodyguards stuffinto a suitcase and leaveon the roadside. Then she called my assistant to pickup and made her escape." Buglared at Connor and added, "Oh, and she also instructed White Mallow to deny everything." Budeliberately omitted the part where Silver Fox had stripped him naked, as it was rather humiliating.
