The Young Boss (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 128

“I’ll become a good person. I’ll work hard to be someone worthy of you.”

Hee Sun grabbed his collar and burst into tears.

Leon felt as if he were riding a rollercoaster—plunged to the very bottom of hell in an instant, then swiftly hauled up to the highest peak of heaven.
