Chapter 405 - Invisible Wall

"How dare you say that, Hui? How dare you?" Jiang Ying Yue tearfully whispered.

Long Hui's expression cracked upon seeing the obvious hurt in her eyes.

Even though tears were streaming down her face nonstop, Jiang Ying Yue still forced her voice to be clear and strong.

"Right from the start, I already knew that you asked Xiulan to hire me. Yes, I started off as her bodyguard but we became genuine friends later on.
