"Where the hell did you go, Rachell?" A blonde woman came. "Who the hell is this?" "Bitch, that's Sandra. Denver's wife." "Oh, the bitch?" Sandra secretly winced when she heard the sharp tongue of the woman she thought was a corn because of her hair.

Lyriel said softly and when Jerry hummed a reply, she rnded the call. For a moment, silence filled the room. Then, almost unconsciously, she let out a quiet chuckle.
