"Oh," Karen muttered under her breath, realization dawning on her. So this was the infamous Gillian.
The incredibly foolish idiot!
It wasn't surprising she described her that way; in Karen's eyes, Gillian was just that.
Stupid, despicable, and needing a beating!
How had Vivienne not knocked her lights out?
Gillian, hands clutched around her neck, took several deep breaths, cursing under her breath at Thomas for being such a brute with no chivalry.
After a moment, she finally turned her attention to Karen.
The legendary former captain of the Vanguard Agency, known as Lark.
And, as fate would have it, Vivienne's mother!
Gillian narrowed her eyes. "Who the hell are you? This is the secret Vanguard Agency prison! You think you can just waltz in here as you please? Thomas, let me tell you, you're in for a punishment! Don't think just because Vance told me to stay out of Vanguard Agency's business that I can't deal with you!"
Before Gillian could finish, Karen lunged forward, gripping Gillian's throat tightly.
She slammed her against the wall, feet dangling, struggling in vain.
Even Thomas, standing aside, was taken aback by how swiftly Karen had acted.
Gillian was gasping for air, on the verge of passing out.
"Dying is easy, and I could help you with that," Karen's voice was as cold as the Arctic.
Gillian, twice throttled, was furious but no match for Karen. She wanted to fight back, but a twisted smile crossed her face instead. "Go ahead, kill me! Let's see if you dare!"
