She looked at David sorrowfully, overwhelmed by his chilling aura. Her swollen face made her look even uglier, and the dried bloodstains at the corner of her lips highlighted the sinister horror of her face. Yet, her eyes radiated with a stubborn viciousness.

She begged, "David, I was wrong. Please spare us. I will make sure the Ellis family returns everything to the Pierce family. I'll go back with you, so please spare my daughter." "It's too late.
