Chapter 983

Last night, she had been waiting for a call from one of Parker's guys, but exhaustion must have taken over, plunging her into a deep sleep.

By the crack of dawn, considering the efficiency of Parker's crew, she was puzzled by the lack of contact.

A wave of unease washed over her, and just as Whitney furrowed her brows in worry, her phone lit up with Ashton's name.

The Fuller family won't stand for it, and neither will !!" Ashton was livid, his voice dark and biting, "Elaine's hanging by a thread. And I don't get it, why push her so far?

She's already at her breaking point!

She even admitted her mistakes to me, expressing shame for her past actions and a desire to make amends. Now, with nowhere to go and her parents ill, she thought of returning to Banyan City to find a way to survive. Maybe she hoped to turn to me, owing her life and all. That makes sense to me.
