Chapter 849
If Cole had known that the person he was talking to was none other than Wyatt Thompson’s second son and Bella Thompson’s second brother, he would probably regret what he said.
Axel said, lifting his chin with a sardonic smile. “There’s no need for you to brag here. If you ever lay a finger on Roza again, you’ll find out how I’ll deal with you.”
No one could outmatch the Thompson family in terms of arrogance.
