Chapter 376 My Billionaire Missing Lover

• This incident spread quickly, and the news soon reached Tom’s ears. Tom’s initial reaction was disbelief. He couldn’t believe it. It just couldn’t be true. Lately, he has been riding high on his success. The members of the Grant family were well aware that the First Elder had entrusted him with the matter concerning the Smith family, and he had indeed handled it remarkably well.
