Chapter 524 Crafty Calvin (1/2)

”Alright. That's a deal. Let my men go!” With a smirk at Zed, Calvin slightly loosened his grip on Jean's neck, though he didn't exactly let her go.

All of Zed's attention was on Jean's face at the moment. When he saw that she was now breathing, though jaggedly, and that her facial contortions were going away and features getting back to normal, he let out a sigh of relief.

It would have weighed on her for her entire life had Moore been hurt that day due to what was going on.

But a beaming smile crept onto her face when she realized that Moore was right there to help Zed and recalled what he had instructed to someone on the phone.

”Calvin, do you want to know what I think of you in my heart? Do you want to know your place?”

Jean savagely asked, and there was a vicious expression on her face.
