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.
