She got it from you guys, and now we want a refund.

Makes things easier for us.” “How much would you want?” “Not much. Three, four thousand or so.” Leanna chuckled. “Three, four thousand?” The woman scoffed, “Not much, don’t you think?

Two, the lady you claimed who sold you this took a few days off and only came back yesterday.” Sh*t. She saw through us. The woman barked, “I don’t care! You sold us this necklace, so you’re paying for the damages!” Leanna said, “I’m not in a

If I think about it, there’s holes in their testimony. Leanna just didn’t know why they tried to scam her and made up a flimsy lie for it. Zoe came back after a short while. She saw what happened and took Leanna aside. “What’s going on, Nana?” Leanna told her about what happened. “I’m going

Leanna told them what happened and the evidence she had gathered. The fat lady shouted, “We’re the victims here, not the perpetrators. How long is this gonna take? My daughter is taking her entrance exams soon.
