The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 2535

Both Harry and Amy froze in shock-neither of them had expected Sylvia to be so ruthless.

Sylvia's voice was cold, emotionless. "Where's the necklace?"

Blood dripped steadily from Harry's face onto his shoulder. His hands shaking, he pulled the necklace from his pocket and handed it to Sylvia.

She barely glanced at it before passing it to Amy. "Is this the one?"

Amy took it, nodding nervously.

Sylvia slipped the paring knife back into her bag, then tossed it into a trash can a few yards away. She turned to Milanda and Amy. "Let's go."

This time, Harry didn't even try to stop them. He pressed himself against the wall, barely daring to breathe.

Once they'd left Harry's place, Sylvia took a good look at Amy. Half her face was swollen and bruised, the corner of her eye red with broken blood vessels, her arm mottled with purple marks. Sylvia's tone was grave. "This is serious. You could press charges."

Amy shook her head. "No, I don't want to make a scene. I just want it to be over." Milanda was furious. "He's not afraid of consequences, so why should you be?"

But Amy just shook her head again. "Let's just leave it."
