Chapter 652

Stella blinked, caught off guard by Ronald's words. "Extra what?" she blurted out, completely confused.

Ronald just shook his head, grinning. "Kids shouldn't ask so many questions."

Stella's jaw dropped. "Excuse me?!"

Ronald turned his attention to Idris up ahead. "Melissa, stay out of our way from now on."

Idris nodded quickly. "Understood."

Of course, the real issue was staying out of Ronald's way. The Nortons had really shot themselves in the foot this time. If Melissa had just kept quiet, their family could've walked away with a lot more.

Then Ronald added, "And get in touch with the Charles family."

Idris froze in shock.
