Seeing Vivienne being stubborn, Arabella angrily walked off with the two girls next to her. She definitely didn’t want to get in trouble because of Vivienne.

After Vivienne gave the little girl an injection, her breathing gradually became steady. Just then, the ambulance arrived at the scene. She removed the silver needles from the girl’s body and placed them in a needle box.

Leopold was taken aback, then laughed, “Well, she can’t be better than Mystic Mistress.” In his heart, Mystic Mistress was unrivaled.
