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.

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