Return of the Lost Heiress

Chapter 1716

As Wynter approached Rohan, she silently flung a silver needle at him. Rohan instantly dropped to his knees, as though his strength had been drained away.

The chamber of commerce members rushed to support him and glared at Wynter. "What did you do to Mr. Tarvin? "they demanded.
