Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1154

"Mrs. Cedillo really knows her stuff," Aimee remarked as she strolled through the garden with Mia. "Those two guys are hitmen from the Dark Web, which is this shady platform where all sorts of illegal stuff goes down. When Patrick was talking, I picked up on it.
