Chapter 270

No one knew what Yanis had said to Allison, but in the end, Allison decided not to leave with Stephanie.

When Stephanie heard Allison’s decision, she just nodded, “If you need me later, call me. I’ll come get you.”

Respecting her decision and being there for her was all Stephanie could do for Allison.

Allison nodded with a touch of emotion and hugged Stephanie tight. “Thanks, Stefi,”

Whether it was settling her father’s old scores or dealing with the pain she’d been through, she was ready to take care of it all.

They talked a little longer before Stephanie left.

Once alone, Allison took out her phone and dialed a number.

The call was answered almost instantly. “Ms. Pierce, what can I do for you?”
