Chapter 141:

Shirley gestured to the bodyguards and said, “Go ahead. But leave her face alone. Just break her legs. Since she’s disabled already, we might as well ensure she’s not a burden to anyone in the future.”

Kallie’s tears flowed freely, driven by stark terror.

She lay pinned to the floor, the fear and anxiety causing a sharp pain in her belly. Her complexion turned deathly pale.

Kallie made desperate signs at Shirley, trying to say that she was pregnant. What they were doing was as good as murder.

Melinda urged her on, saying, “Look how defiant she is. She must be cursing you right now.”

This made Shirley even more incensed. She advanced in her high heels, seized Kallie by the hair, and yanked it viciously.

Kallie winced in pain, lifting her head, her expression one of fierce determination.

Shirley released her grip and tossed Kallie away disdainfully before coldly commanding, “Hit her!”
