Chapter 572

Owen Reynolds was a sure bet in her corner.

Roseanne quipped, "The keys have been handed over. This one, I can't give you."

"Why not?"

"Sweetheart, if we hand over the keys, what will we do when it's time to move the espresso machine? Break in?"

Mamie's eyes widened in surprise, "We can move that espresso machine?!"

"Of course. We bought it, didn't we? Why can't we move it?"

"Exactly! If we bought it, we can move it whenever we want."

"That's why we need to keep the key. It'll make things easier when we move."

Scales smirked, "Edna has been trying to push us out just for this machine. Looks like her plans are going to fall through!"

Mamie's was the largest, filled to the brim with snacks.

Chips, nuts, spicy sticks, cookies, milk, sparkling water...
