Chapter 189: Who Are You Calling Riffraff?

Scarlet clenched her jaw. Of course, her mother would do this; she was the kind of woman who would do absolutely anything to make sure that her precious mama boy doesn’t lose his precious position as the enforcer. Which was foolish if someone asked her; Ricky was not weak enough to be kicked out of that position just because his sister ran away from the pack.

Red blotched Evelyn’s cheeks as she glared at Scarlet. She said to her, "You better hope that we find her, Scar. Dom’s patience is wearing thin, and I don’t believe he will wait any longer unless you tell him where Inez went."
