Chapter 209

Over the next few days, Karen continued to try and harass Leanna at the studio, but before she could even arrive at the threshold, someone would stop her with all sorts of excuses. She didn’t have any clue what was going on.

Louis was speechless.

He set the tablecloth down and said to the manager, “I’m done with cleaning up, so I’ll be off now.”
