Irene saw that there were multiple red stripes on his back.
Mr. Woods was truly merciless.
"No need..." "Mr. Lucas, do you really not know the of pain?" Irene wanted to see if he was truly not afraid of pain, so she stretched out her hand and touched his back. He instantly gasped and glared at her.
