Chapter 272

"Zach isn't with you?" Serena's gaze swept past Wendy's shoulder, landing on the space behind her-casual, indifferent.

She was just here to test Wendy. If she revealed her true intentions too soon, she wouldn't get any answers at all.

Wendy's fingers tightened around the bags, instinctively shifting them behind her. There was a black hoodie in one of the bags.
