Chapter 148

Sienna did not answer the question, and she left.

Leanna held her new phone and heaved a sigh. She went to the backdoor with the men and looked at the car not far from her before she said, “Give me a minute. I don’t feel too good.”

One of the men turned around and told her coolly, “We’re here to help, Miss McKinney. Don’t try to pull anything funny.”
