Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

On the car.

Without any prior agreement, both Mia and Leo clapped in unison for Jade who was sitting at the back.

Mia asked, "Jade, are you a silver-tongued devil or what?"

With an air of arrogance, Jade fluffed her bangs and smirked. "Hmph, I already planned to expose that bastard when I heard about it from Chad last night.
