Chapter 118 An Eye for an Eye, Mr Sallow?

If it were any other time, she would be extremely worried, panicking over the possibility he would misunderstand her intentions.

Yet, none of that was important now.

Nothing was important. She did not care about what he would do or say after witnessing this.

She did not care what he thought of her. He could think of her as evil, vicious, and ruthless. She couldn’t care less.
