A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 12 The Truth Three Years Ago

Jean looked around the rented house. It was as dirty as a garbage dump

Afraid that Jean would get angry, Mandy smiled to give her some reassurance. "Please don't mind the mess. It will be very tidy after thorough cleaning."

Mandy walked towards Jean and tried to hold her hand. Her eyebrows furrowed when she spotted the injury on her hand. Hastily, she asked, "What happened?"

"It doesn't matter." Jean dodged the question.

Mandy smiled bitterly in response and looked at her empty hand. She couldn't help but say, "Jean, why didn't you tell me that you came back? I could have cleaned the house in advance."

In fact, Mandy was just an innate gambler.
