Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 444

I pulled out the object to find it was a small wallet.

Flashing it to her, she nodded. "Keep it. Use the money to..."

Just then, Zora stepped forward, "Aaliyah, what on earth are you trying to do? Why are you taking her things? We don't welcome you here, Jaylan..."
