Now at a loss for words, I end the call, dropping my hand on the side of my body while tightly wrapping my hand around my phone. Was this supposed to be a prank or what?

"You're really out of your mind for doing such a thing." Chapton 85 I feel so disappointed in myself because I fell for it. Shaking my head, I face the direction of my car so I can get back to it, but she holds out her hands and blocks the way, twisting her face in an ugly sneer.

I twist my face in disgust, attempting to step to the side so I can walk past her, but she jumps in front ofagain.
"Don't leave just like that. You can't seriously hatethat much. I saw you all over the news when you m bought that bitch what's now the most expensive diamond necklace in the world.
