The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 459

Evelyn glared fiercely at Dahlia, her eyes burning with a mix of anger and desperation. As she spoke, she kept lashing out, like someone teetering on the brink of madness. Dahlia had witnessed Evelyn lose control like this before, two years ago when she had cruelly taunted her with Charlie's ashes, sending Evelyn into a wild frenzy.

Now, here she was again, wondering if her provocations had triggered another bout of Evelyn's depression. The blows had left Dahlia's head spinning, her usual sharpness dulled.
