Chapter 276 After Joycelyn finished speaking, she blinked her clear, bright eyes and pursed her lips uneasily as she booked in Fillon & didn’t occur to me to ask back then. Shall I go ask my adoptive mother? “Let’s wait a little longer. The Mercer family is in a mess now. They’re not doing the demolition anymore. The money is gone. Bellina Schultz even got people to beat up the Mercer family members. If we approach them now, they prov blame everything on us,” Ellison cautioned. “Oh, she did that?” “Mm–hmm.
