Chapter 410

Larissa made a call to Bethany’s mother. Regardless of the outcome, she had to let Bethany’s mother know of her dissatisfaction.

The phone rang for a long time before someone finally answered.

“Hello?” The voice on the other end was impatient.

It was a high–pitched female voice that sounded somewhat familiar

At that moment, Larissa couldn’t seem to pinpoint where she had heard this voice before.

“Hello, is this Bethany’s mother?” she asked politely.

Before she could get a response, the person on the other end hung up abruptly.

When Larissa tried calling again, she couldn’t get through. It was likely that Bethany’s mother had blocked her number.

It was rare that someone could work her up so badly that she was tempted to smash her phone into bits
