Chapter 184
Michelle stepped out of Red Velvet House and started wandering the streets lazily, thinking about what she had just found out. It turned out both the city she was in and the Sloan family were bothersome opponents.

The cat didn’t respond to anything. It just let Michelle pet it while snuggling against her.
Understanding that the cat wouldn’t tell her anything, Michelle stood up and glanced down at it. "If you want something from me, lead me there..."
