“Make no mistake, Miss Connor. They are not children. Their bodies. are small, but their souls are like cunning old people. Do you think they could tear up my family’s yacht if they were only four years old?”

Ava sighed tiredly. “No, I won’t be able to. I’ll end up stabbing myself if I plan to give them poisoned needles.”

Patricia hissed. “You’re very weak. If that’s the case, we’ll have to
