The Lewis and Fulton families had reached an understanding. It was clear what kind of fate. awaited Wendy.

In a dim and damp room, Wendy’s hands and feet were bound together. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and a smelly sock was stuffed into her mouth. She couldn’t speak and could on

At this moment, the door to the dark room was opened, and footsteps approached her.

When Wendy felt someone’s presence, she struggled incessantly and whimpered, seemingly pleading for mercy.

Grace stood there, looking down at Wendy coldly. Finally, she said, “It’s me, Grace.”

As her voice sounded, Wendy’s movements abruptly stopped. She looked toward Grace’s direction, but she couldn’t see anything.

Grace reached out to remove the black cloth. Suddenly, fear filled Wendy’s eyes, and her b*dy

“You harmed my friends and family, and you’re asking me to spare you? Wendy, do you think so highly of yourself?”

Wendy kept begging for mercy. “Grace, please kill me. Kill me. Give me a quick death! Please!”

She really couldn’t take it anymore.

She continuously knocked her head on the wall, begging for mercy.

Before long, a gash appeared on her forehead, and fresh blood stained her entire face. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Grace didn’t relent at all. She looked coldly at Wendy, as though she were looking at a clown performing.

Finally, she said, “I won’t take your life, but I will make you suffer.”

“No, Grace! Don’t!” Wendy’s desperate screams filled the entire room. Without looking back, Grace strode away decisively.

After Grace left, a snake slithered in, hissing slowly.

Wendy’s greatest fear was snakes.

At the sight of the snake, her eyes filled with terror. “No! No!”
