Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 393

Mandy was shaking from head to toe, trembling with rage.

How much more suffering had Claire endured in secret?

"Why are you doing this to her?"

Mandy's eyes grew bloodshot, and to her own shock, tears of crimson streaked down her cheeks.

"What did Claire ever do to deserve this? How could you treat her with such inhuman cruelty?"

Her voice rose to a fevered pitch. "I'll kill you, I swear-die, just die—!"

Mandy snapped. Again and again, she drove the knife into Sophia, each thrust accompanied by Sophia's bone-chilling screams.

"Please don't kill me! If you kill me, you'll never find Claire's child-never!"

Mandy froze mid-strike.

She was right. Mandy couldn't kill her-not yet. She had to find Claire's child first. After that, Sophia's fate would be sealed.

"Tell me where Claire's child is."

Sophia's lips twisted into a crazed, mocking smile, as if she'd just discovered Mandy's one weakness. She burst into manic laughter.
