Reborn at Eighteen The Billionaire's Second Chance novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

“It might reduce her sentence.”

I looked at Anna. “Will you do that? Will you tell them everything?”

She nodded slowly. “Yes. Yes, I’ll tell them everything.”

When we walked out of the precinct, Raven squeezed my arm tight.

“Harris is right. Anna will flip,” she said, a fierce satisfaction in her
