Chapter 1186:

Amanda’s eyebrow quirked up. “And what if I was? I was indeed plotting your end. What’s your move? Your words carry no weight.”

As Amanda’s last taunt settled, Elyse effortlessly raised her gun, locking her aim squarely on her.

A crack appeared in Amanda’s composed facade as she cried out, “What are you playing at? Are you really prepared to pull that trigger? Do you truly have the courage?”
