Bonnie’s two slaps instantly left Winona’s face red and swollen. Bonnie knew just how much strength she had put into them -if Winona’s face had not swelled up, it wouldn’t have been fair. Everyone says you should repay kindness with kindness and be generous, but Bonnie believed that unless you’ve gone through someone else’s struggles, you shouldn’t preach to them about being good. Not many people know the rest of that saying: “If you endure my suffering, you might not have my kindness.”

The hatred in Winona’s eyes intensified as she touched her swollen face. In a fit of rage, she screamed, “Bonnie, you b***h! Why are you hitting me? What? Yvette, if you’ve got the guts, kill me!

Yvette lounged back with her legs crossed, twirling the sleek black gun in her hand. Raising an eyebrow, she rested her chin on her hand, her eyes dark and deep as she regarded Winona with a mix of disdain and amusement. “Oh? Is that so?“

Seeing Yvette’s fearless demeanor, Winona gritted her teeth in frustration.

What was she even counting on! Did she really think Zachary could save her from this mess? For all she knew, he might already be dead, Did Yvette have any idea? How could she be so sure?
