Chapter 197

The woman who spoke up was sitting behind Alex and seemed to be in her thirties. She overheard their conversation since she was sitting so close by. She had been listening to them since Michelle said she’d have Priscilla in Alex’s bed. She absolutely despised the two, and even wanted to call the cops on them. It was a relief that Alex turned down the offer. Later on, she heard them talking about Thousand Leaves, saying that they’d be able to get the permit with just a word. Upon listening to this, she almost spat out her spicy stew. She just so happened to know about Thousand Leaves. Her husband sold building materials too, though he was just a small distributor working under the California franchise. She knew that Thousand Leaves was owned by the Yowells, one of the four richest families in California. The company was also well advertised. Her husband distributed hundreds of different brands of building materials, yet Thousand Leaves contributed seventy percent of their sales.
