The Dark Lord Obsesses Over His Fake Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 153

I stared at the wanted poster bearing Betty’s face. There were so many of them—enough to trip over—probably because they thought we’d likely head for the harbor.

‘I never thought Johan would go this far.’

It made me uneasy, as if I’d unwittingly turned Betty into a criminal. Everywhere I went, people were talking about me and Betty.
