When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Pitcoin continued trending, but the Queens and the Zieglers’ court case had become a piping hot topic and everyone was waiting for the final verdict.

Some people looked forward to seeing the nouveau riche cum business legend emerge to victory miraculously, while others envisioned K City’s number one career woman bowing in apology. They had different reasons for wanting to see her fall, but ultimately, everyone was eager to push Thora and her investment company into the eye of the storm.
