Chapter 25

But as he heard the so–called surprise was a naked woman, something that had happened years ago immediately resurfaced in his mind.

His expression turned grave as he set the glass on the table and rushed off to find Helena.

“Stop taking photos of me…”

He froze when he heard Helena say this.

The scene in front of him was identical to that day years ago.

Trembling, Helena curled up in a corner, her hair messy, her face stained with tears.

He snatched the phone from the man standing at the front and smashed it against the wall violently.

“Put your fucking phones away!
