Chapter 0297

Meanwhile, at the Chesire family’s Belmont Hills residence…

No sooner had Amber stepped out than Wanda quickly locked the living room’s security door, collapsed onto

After a good cry, she fumbled for her phone and dialed Kelvin’s number. As soon as the call connected, a fresh

wave of tears broke free. “I’ve made it to Ol’ Mare, you don’t have to worry…”

Marcus… Marcus had taken Kelvin!
