Chapter 88 Call Her Mrs. Nocturne

Eva was horrified though and gasped loudly, covering her mouth in horror.

“Eva, you have to trust me on this that I know exactly what I’m doing. I just need you

to do everything that I say, when I say it. For now, we remain silent. Not a word to

drain from her face.

questioning every little thing that she had done from as early as her childhood, and

making up fanciful and far-reaching explanations for every misstep she made.

not she had been responsible for her mother’s death.
