The following day, Angela received a call from Beatrice.

"Angie" Beatrice said, "I've been invited by an old friend to spend the weekend at a resort. Are you free? Do you want to join me! I heard there's horseback riding and an amusement park there."

As she was preparing to set off, she noticed several messages from Kenneth.

[Angela, what did you tell my grandma about Jennie!)

My grandma already has a bad impression of Jennie. You telling her about moving out has made her threaten me. She says she won't let Jennie off if I don't bring you back to Vista Villa!] What have you done to make my gra
