18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 395

Stella held the walkie-talkie tight, her sharp, icy stare fixed on Julia and her daughter. "Yeah, we've got a situation here." Daniel was in a good mood. "Go on, I'm listening."

"Your precious Julia paid a homeless guy to kill me. Thought I wouldn't make it, didn't she? Well, surprise, I'm still here. I've got all the proof I need. You better get down here now, or I can't promise your wife and daughter will still be in one piece when you arrive." Daniel was stunned but quickly gathered himself. "Stella, if this is true, I'll make sure justice is done. Don't do anything crazy."

"I'm not interested in justice. I want payback."

Stella switched off the walkie-talkie and marched straight towards Julia.

Julia, realizing she was trapped, grabbed Lillian's hand to make a run for it, but a snarling dog blocked their way.

""Ah!" Julia screamed in terror.

She tripped and nearly fell, but Stella yanked her by the hair and slammed her face into the glass door!

This place used to be a glass factory, and the mall was stocked with valuable goods, so all the glass was shatterproof and bulletproof.

The glass was fine, but Julia's face wasn't. Blood poured from a gash on her head.

Two of her teeth were knocked out, and blood gushed from her nose.

Stella didn't let up, smashing Julia's head into the glass three more times, leaving her face bloodied and her body slumped on the ground like a broken doll, twitching helplessly, unable to even cry for help. Lillian screamed and lunged at Stella.

Stella didn't hold back, slapping her hard across the face.

The force sent Lillian crashing into the glass, seeing stars.

Holding her numb, throbbing cheek, Lillian looked at Stella in shock. "Stella, how could you hit me?"
