Chapter 109
The underling who had led the way rushed to explain, “I swear, Mr. Haywood, I personally saw Andrew and Aspen enter this exact room!”
Seth’s face twisted with fury, his voice low and cold. “Damn it all….. We’ve been played. Andrew hired us here on purpose. That bastard set us up”
Daron, meambile, had his eyes locked on Christina with a hungry grin. “Mr. Haywood, forget Andrew and Aspen. This might’ve been a screw–up, but I call it a lucky one. Look at this beauty -she’s no less than Aspen, maybe even hotter. You wanted Aspen? Fine, I’ll take this one for mysay
