Chapter 745

Glynnis was ranting and raving in front of Marilla like a rabid dog, spewing venom with every word, her actions serving as an unwitting confession of her own downfall.

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Glynnis, with a surge of fury, drew back her arm and aimed a wrath–filled blow at Marilla’s face!
