Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 234

Mandy twirled the butterfly knife in her hand, her voice casual yet dripping with menace, "Wrong? Just saying you're wrong and thinking that's the end of it? Do you think I'm that easy to dismiss?"

"Do you remember what I told you over two months ago?"

"You can bully me, but I can take your lives. One life for three lives, a bargain. Want to test it?"

Recalling her words, and the icy coldness of the knife pressed against their backs, the three girls were reduced to tears.

Under Mandy's coercion, they were like lambs led to slaughter, forced to brush their teeth, wash their hair, and bathe using her toiletries before drying off with a towel that was filthy and reeking.

Mandy watched with a smile that held not a hint of warmth. "That's more like it."

Do you know why a snake has fangs? Because some things, you can't simply hide from.

Mandy chuckled coldly to herself, plotting her next move: she needed to find that man with the Maybach at Starlight Bar tonight.
