The Bound Between Us

Chapter 394

Pattie stepped back in fright. Her eyes were wide as dinner plates as she stared at Penny.

Penny wouldn’t lay a finger on her until the time was right, but she gave Pattie a forceful shove, growling, “You’re nothing but trouble, Pattie. Keep staring, and I’ll gouge your eyes out…”

As soon as Penny was gone, Layna motioned for Pattie to free her and remove the duct tape over her mouth. Pattie obliged but accidentally hurt Layna in the process, earning her a scowl and a sharp reprimand from her sister.
