Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 390

Inside the small apartment, Sophia and Garnett Brown were chatting idly when a sudden knock at the door made them both freeze. They exchanged uneasy

glances.

Garnett's voice carried a hint of caution as he called out, "Who is it?"

Mandy, standing outside, lowered her voice and put on a convincing act. "Your delivery's here."

"Oh, that was quick! I didn't expect our dinner to arrive so soon," Sophia remarked.

"I'll get it," Garnett said as he stood up.

deliverywoman standing in the dimly lit hallway. She wore a mask that obscured most of her face, but it was clear from her build that she was female.
