Meanwhile, Mia was holding her brand–new handbag like it was a treasure at Lena’s villa

Lena looked a little uneasy. “Mix… are we really doing the right thing?”

“It’s fine.”

“But we’re her best friends. Doesn’t this feel like betraying Lottle?

“Oh, come on. We only gave him her address. Sean lonows his limits. He’s not going to do anything crazy. Don’t worry so much.”

Lena still frowned. “What if Lottie finds out we sent her flowers just because we felt guilty? What if she gets mad?”

“Ahem.” Mia let out an awkward cough. “What are you saying? That wasn’t guilt. Those flowers were a symbol of friendship!”

“Exactly!” Mia nodded solemnly, clearly trying to convince herself. “A symbol of friendship!”

“Well, Sean’s being generous. And according to Tan, there was more to their breakup than meets the eye. He said Sean’s planning to win her back once everything on his end is sorted.

“We recently confirmed that Chester is one of Joseph’s men. He’s been laundering money for him.”
