As Ryan tested his suitcase on the bed, he looked back when his room door burst open, and Mall rushed into the room.

Annoyed, Ryan snatched his phone with a blank expression on his face and played the video, his eyes widened slightly

“So when Boss and Peach went out… Damn!!” Ryan gasped as he listened to Peach confronting Jessica on the video.
