Chapter 780

Marilla had her gaze locked onto Glynnis‘ hideous face; she was not blinking, as if staring down the devil itself.

Her eyes, once dulled by torment, suddenly gleamed with a fierce clarity that seemed to ignite Glynnis‘ rage even further.

Glynnis‘ eyes bulged with fury as she was about to deliver another kick, but Edith grabbed her arm.

Marilla curled into a ball, and her tear–streaked face was etched with terror and despair.

She bit her pale lips until they bled, but it couldn’t stop the dark memories from corroding her sanity.

Back in the day, every time she was bullied in the abandoned music room, Edith was always the one playing the soundtrack to her torture. The physical and mental abuse had left her with deep psychological scars, and even the sound of piano music could send her into a panic.
