incident
That night, Mr. Doug and I were chatting when Gisele burst in and fed him her concoction to poison him. If I hadn’t acted quickly, I might have met the same fate as him.‘
On the night of the interview, Michael went live.
Upon seeing the luxury yachts and festivities in the donations, the 65–year–old man smiled broadly.
