Chapter 39

When Jade wanted to go to the Cedillo family to help her out with some trash talk, Mia stopped her. “Easy there, this could affect your mom’s business. Our family business is already under threat from the Cedillo family. I don’t want your mom also to suffer from this.”

Mia had been married for a while now, but she was meeting her friend this time because she needed a place to crash.

After a two-hour walk, Mia arrived at the Byrne family’s place. Jade was the one to answer the door. Seeing her friend, Mia couldn’t help but burst into tears, “Jade, can I crash at your place tonight?”

“What are you talking about? You can not only stay tonight, but you’re also welcome to bunk here forever.”

Jade ushered Mia into the house, “What’s up, sweetheart? Did the Cedillo family mess with you?”

Mia nodded and then shook her head.

“You didn’t want to worry your folks so you didn’t tell them, but you don’t need to hide it from me. Did the Cedillo family mess with you?”

Mia: “Yes, they did, but I fought back.”

Jade: “Did you give it your all?”
