Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 392

As soon as Mandy's words left her lips, she drove the knife straight into Sophia's shoulder with a sickening squelch.

Sophia screamed in agony, her eyes snapping open, wild with terror. "No-please, don't kill me! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!"

Mandy yanked the blade free, her lips curling into a cold, mirthless smile. "You really are pathetic. You'd better make your next words count. If you're just stalling, I'll make sure you die a hundred times more painfully than Garnett Brown ever did."

Monster. Mandy was a monster-no, something worse.

A wave of raw fear crashed over Sophia. If she'd known it would come to this, she never would have let Scarlet's phone call drag her into messing with Claire.

Claire had already let them go once.

If they'd just kept their heads down, none of this would be happening.

Regret gnawed at Sophia, but it was much too late for that now.

Shaking and pale, she stared at Mandy, her voice quivering as she spilled Claire's secrets-everything she knew.
