The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 607

Leilani just smiled and didn't respond.

Judie had invited Leilani and Yvonne for coffee, but Leilani was busy helping Ethan with a case and didn't have the time. So, in the end, it was just Judie and Yvonne on their coffee date.

Judie stirred her latte, sighing with boredom. "Leilani is way too busy. How many times has she bailed on us now?"

Yvonne chewed on her straw and mumbled an agreement. "It seems like she's been helping a friend with a case lately."

She'd seen him a few times when she went down to throw out the trash.

She wasn't even that distraught when the Sloans were giving her a hard time."

Judie's mouth fell open in shock. They both knew Leilani's personality—she was always so emotionally stable and composed. For someone like her to show such an expression, it was obvious that something serious had happened.

Then, Yvonne continued, "At first, I thought she was just having a bad day at work. But then, when Leilani and I went down for lunch, we ran into your cousin in the elevator…"
