Hendrey pursed his lips and clenched his fists. Instead of answering the question, he changed the subject. "The leader has something to say."
"You're Tiffany's ally. Why did you want to see me?"
"I am no ally of hers. We just have a common goal."
"You're honest. Do you want a compliment?" Veronica shook her head in resignation.
"We'll talk about our business later. You have something else on your plate now." He turned to Tanya. "Tell her what's on your mind. Liam and I will translate."
Tanya nodded. A frown furrowed her forehead, and an unfathomable look appeared in her eyes. A moment of silence later, she said, "I'm not one for pleasantries. To be honest, I want to work with you."
Liam translated it for Veronica.
"I'm listening."
"I know about you and Hayley, and I know what happened in Bloomstead, but speaking as a mother, I think Hayley's a selfish soul. Your family's in that city, and yet she brings you all the way here. She wishes that you would stay. My sources tell me that she's going to bring your foster parents and their children over next."
