Chapter 10
Julie threw herself at Connor, grabbing his leg. “Please tell me this isn’t real, Connor. It was you that night, wasn’t it? It had to be you! I’m sure Queenie is behind all this! She must have tampered with the footage!”
Connor didn’t even spare her a glance, kicking her away and saying, “It’s the surveillance footage from the hotel. You can go
