Chapter285
For some reason, she felt like Stephanie could really do it.
Even though there was no reason.
It was just a moment of zoning out, and Stephanie had already looked
avvay.
She glanced at Maxwell, who was wiping off the blood he’d been beaten out of, didn’t say a word, turned around, and walked away quickly.
Maxwell still wanted to chase, but Vincent was already standing in front of him.

And smiled.
Outside the door was the “clack clack clack” of Stephanie’s heels when she left. Inside, two men faced off.
Edgar didn’t know what to do, and Estrella looked at Vincent with slightly red eyes. In the end, she ran out, wanting to catch up with Stephanie.
