The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 104

Leilani shook her head helplessly, taking it as a joke.

The car slowly drove into Celestial Heights. Leilani thanked them and got out. Judie leaned out the window and waved at her. "Leilani, remember to rest and let those heal! See you later!"

Leilani smiled and nodded, watching the car leave before turning toward the apartment building.

She didn't notice a black sedan parked quietly not far away. The window slowly rolled down, revealing a pair of deep, cold eyes.

Just as Leilani grabbed her key card to enter the complex, a familiar figure walked over from the corner.

It was Josiah Sloan. He was dressed in a sharp suit, his expression much softer than when they had met at the airport. He wasn't as cold and hard. The look he gave Leilani even held a rare trace of hesitation.

"Leilani." He called out to her, his voice low.

Leilani paused and looked up at him, her eyes cold. She felt annoyed. The Sloans were like gum stuck to a shoe—once stepped on, you couldn't shake them off.

"What, are you here to interrogate me again?"

Leilani's words were thorny. But unexpectedly, facing Leilani's hostility, Josiah only pursed his lips. For once, he wasn't aggressive. Instead, he took a deep breath and spoke sincerely. "I was impulsive last time."

Leilani raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Josiah continued, "Mom and Dad want to see you. There are some things... they want to clear up in person."

Leilani scoffed. "They want me back just to scold me again?"

She knew exactly what kind of people Hackett and Zadie were. You couldn't squeeze a kind word out of them if you tried. Calling her back meant nothing good.
