Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 395

Pain twisted the woman's face into a mask of agony.

"You... you'd kill me?" she stammered, her voice raw and ragged, laced with unbearable suffering.

Mandy blinked her wide, innocent eyes, looking for all the world like a harmless little bunny-utterly incapable of violence.

"Oh, absolutely," she replied, her tone light and almost playful. "You know, I've already killed six people. One more won't make a difference. Especially since you went after the child of someone I care about most."
