The Real Heiress Rules the World

Chapter 207 Hypnosis

From behind the iron doors lining the corridor, mad laughter and sudden screams echoed through the halls. But the moment the patients caught a glimpse of Sloane through the small windows in their cell doors, the chaos fell into complete silence -thick, heavy, suffocating silence.

“She… she’s back…” one patient whimpered, curled up in the corner, eyes wide with fear.

“The devil… the devil came back…” Another clutched his head and rocked back and forth, whispering in a shrill, broken voice like he was trying to shut out a nightmare only he could see.

Sloane didn’t even flinch. She walked on, unfazed, like she’d seen this all a thousand times before. Her eyes stayed fixed straight ahead, her steps steady and unshaken.

He yanked something out of his hair and shoved it into his mouth, mumbling to

Sloane gave the director a nod. He fumbled with his keys and unlocked the iron door.

She pushed open the iron door and stepped inside. Her eyes were cold and sharp as she crouched beside Boone. Reaching out, she grabbed his chin and forced his head up.

“Boone, do you remember me?” Her voice was quiet, like something dead whispering from the shadows.
