"It's as bad as we thought. Maybe even worse." Ella said.
"How so?"
"Well, Gabriel didn't just skip town. He took off with all the money he got my mom and the co op to invest and he took Poppy's money too. The entire thing was a scam." Ella informed.

"Yeah. Just take that, and we'll talk later, okay? And thank you. This is really something." Ella said.
"Don't forget, we have to leave for brunch in ten minutes." Lily reminded.
