Chapter 523 No One’s Saying Anything

It wasn’t just Stella who didn’t buy it–Marie didn’t either.

Everything Derrick said now sounded shady. For all she knew, he could rope her into something with just a few words. The guy was a pro manipulator.

Marie looked him over. “What do you need help with?”

Evelyn cut her off. “That’s right. It’s not convenient to say.”

Marie rubbed her hands together, fuming. “You’re asking me for help, but you won’t even tell me what it’s for?”

Evelyn just said, “Exactly. Now go already.”
