Mia put her phone away and looked up at Nina. ‘I thought you said you didn’t have her on WhatsApp?

Vina scratched her head. “She suddenly left a message on the platform saying the reason she gives me so much is because I look exactly like her laughter. She wanted to stay in touch for the sake of the memory. How could I not add her after that?”

t was an emotional appeal Nina couldn’t resist. She was a classic case of having a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Vina felt the woman was being a bit too pushy.

Aren’t you afraid of offending him?”

Internal Gallagher family matters are easier for them to investigate themselves, Ethan replied. “I don’t have a choice.”

eo relayed the message to Marcus Gallagher exactly as instructed. Marcus didn’t say a word before hanging up.

Will he do as you say?”
