Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 149

---- Chapter 149 Yancey couldn't get his hands on the hotel's surveillance footage, so he had no choice but to head back home. Alot had been happening at his house lately. For one, his mother, Lily, had been storming off to his grandfather's house to complain about everything, and his grandfather was seriously fed up with it. His father was still dealing with the fallout from his affair and hadn't been home in days.

However, greed was an endless pit, and Yelena's appetite only grew after easily getting ten million dollars from him.

even that wasn't enough. She was determined to push Lily out of the way. She wanted her place at the top, and she needed to work even harder for it to happen. With so many photos and videos in her hands, anyone who dared cross her would certainly regret it. Lily, still

What's going on with you?" "Nothing . I'm going upstairs to rest. I won't be going back tonight." Although he had his own place outside, he couldn't go back tonight and face Alice.
