Chapter 246 How Did You Know?

If this was in the past, she would have forced Sam to help Queenie and deal with the Hart couple, even if it meant she had to throw a tantrum. She would not do that now, however. Dan and her father had renounced her. She would lose everything if even Sam were to abandon her. She hung up and called Queenie to relay Sam's message to her.
