William closed his eyes momentarily. “She won’t even submit in such a situation. Forget it. Let the lawyer deal with her.”

In my opinion, ever since the renowned actor, William, co–

starred with Jennie four years ago and was embroiled in a scandal, he’s been keeping his nose clean in all his roles over the years. It’s clear that this is t Jennie has suffered the most in this incident. She was driven away, targeted, and framed. All she did was fall in love with another unfortunate soul.
