Chapter 1129: Worst luck

"They're gonna kill you."

Penny halted as her brows twitched up slightly. The corner of her mouth lifted a little, and the relaxed air around her gradually changed as she faced Mint.

"That's one way to get my attention," she said, holding the railing as she leaned against it.

Mint, on the other hand, simply observed the change in the air around Penny. Earlier, Penny had been tamed-one might wonder if she was truly the woman everyone was talking about.

"I'm aware," Penny nodded. "Would they kill me because their clients trust my services more?"

"Haha. That's a bit... well, I don't think they've crossed that line," Mint chuckled. "I guess you're also aware they won't do that."
