Chapter 869 Extra Story 17 Of Aaron Gossip (2/2)

ked at each other for a minute, each silently communicating that things were more complicated than they could predict.

The news broadcast pulled Ximena's attention, even though her eyes were still on the magazine. Recently, gossips and rumors about the Leng Corporation have generated a lot of buzz in the medias.
