Chapter 127 A Little Brother or Sister

Caleb was stuck between a rock and a hard place, unable to defend himself. After all, they were the ones who tried to set Alistair up first. He couldn't throw Alistair under the bus without dragging Brady and the screenwriter into the mess too.

Brady had already warned them. If he or that female colleague couldn't keep their mouths shut, they'd be kicked out of New York for good!

Alistair couldn't help but laugh at her innocent concern.

"But you should probably take a shower anyway," Eloise continued. "I can't smell anything, but Mommy might. If she finds out you accidentally stepped in poop today, she'll feel really bad for you."
