Chapter 179 A Boyfriend Richer Than The Previous One (1/2)

Debby sighed deeply, remembering something. ”Emily, I heard from Tina that you two are enemies. How did that happen?” asked Debby.

”Mom, it's a long story.” Emily roughly narrated the story to Debby and towards the end of it, she said,”Anyway, you must be careful and be on your guard. I think that although she failed this time, she won't give up easily and will spare no effort to hurt us next time.”
