Chapter 319

Jace has always been decisive and didn’t plan to let Steven go. But he hesitated, considering the authenticity of Steven’s words—could he be a trustworthy friend?

During their confrontation, the house was filled with noise. Norah, now feeling better, regained consciousness. When she turned her head, she saw them locked in a struggle.
