Chapter 489

Rowena sat on the living room couch, her close friends gathered around her.

She took a slow sip of her coffee, then said, "I told you guys about what Chloe did the other day, right? You need to help me figure out how to get back at her. I swear, if I keep holding onto this anger, I'm going to lose it!" "Chill. You don't have to do anything later. Just sit back and let us handle it," Jasmine Walker said quickly.
