“Matthew, let me make this clear. If I can knock you down once, I can do it twice, three times, or countless times. Just like you said, I’m Milly, and I’m ruthless, unlike Stephanie with her kind heart. So don’t mess with me, or I’ll beat you up every time I see you!

Matthew, who should have been asking for her help, was now too furious to remember that. His mind was filled with the desire to crush Milly.
