Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1919

Tricia was momentarily taken aback by our skills, convinced she'd seen such moves somewhere before. In the thick of the fight, a woman's voice suddenly cut through the chaos, "Stop."

The voice was clear, melodic, yet packed with authority. I spun around and there she was—my mom, standing behind us. She was wearing a vibrant red dress, her hair cascading down her back, makeup flawlessly applied, and she looked much younger than I remembered. I was momentarily stunned. Who knew my mom could look this bold and striking?
