Chapter 1063

Penny wasn't detained, but she knew what awaited her. She wasn't afraid of death. As long as she could see Aurora torn apart, she would die without regret.

"I've already told her. She's terrified," Yuna said, her gaze briefly flicking over Penny's face before resting on Yasmine.

"Let her experience the fear of death," Yasmine replied with a cool tone.

"You didn't have to die," Yasmine retorted. "We were set on taking Aurora, but you had to go and mess things up."

Penny wiped her tears. "I don't regret it. Even if I had to choose again, I'd do the same."
