Chapter 121

On the other end of the phone, Yvonne and her daughter were a bundle of nerves. They had been shackled in a desolate storage facility, and after the goons had left, it took all their wits to make their way back to the Valentine Mansion Now Yvonne’s mind was racing–the con was clear as day!
