Jade bellowed, "Your daughter has poor kidneys! The same goes for your whole family too!"
Speechless and livid, the black-clad man started to storm off.
Even if Chaz had asked him to come from distant Seaham, he would suffer a stroke soon if he had to suffer a boor like Jade for another second.
"Please calm down." Gina quickly stopped him, smiling apologetically when she saw that things were going awry. "My relative is just a little too worried about her daughter. Please try to save Luna for Mr.
