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.”

Leanna bit her lip. “I won’t. I mean, look at me. I’m pregnant. What can I even do? You know how pregnant women are. Life’s a hassle for us. I can’t help it.”

The man looked a little impatient, and he was reluctant to let her go.

Leanna grumbled, “Look at me! Do you think I can escape? Besides, I’m pregnant with the Pearsons’ kid. I’m not some sort of criminal. Treat me like one and I’ll tell Mrs. Pearson about this.”

The man was about to say something, but his friend stopped him. He told Leanna, “Go. We’ll wait for you.”
