Chapter: Chapter Fifty two"So, what are you guys doing here instead of heading to the exhibition?" Collins Mark asked, his voice laced with amusement. "Oh, let me guess – Escobar's wayward son is back to his sweet-talking of you into being his?"

I'll be more than grateful if we don't talk about it. I onl

If you haven't administered it, there's no one on earth who can save Mr. Johnson."Victor paused, weighing his options. "If you say so," he replied calmly.
