Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 162

The stage lights swept in time with The Masked Mermaid's haunting song, conjuring the feeling of standing at the very edge of the ocean itself.

Vivienne paused only a second before firing off a message to Jack.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast was igniting a firestorm online.

Suddenly, a new trending topic exploded across social media:
