Shadow Slave

Chapter 1557

Cassie turned sharply and stared at him, her mask of composure barely holding.

"You... you know why I did what I did. I was young and naive, back then. Stupid, and helpless. I... know better now."

Sunny raised his hands and clapped them, applauding her. "Good for you! Really. What stunning growth. But..."

Cassie remained silent for a while.
