"She has quite a good mentality. Even at this point, she's still acting arrogantly." Alyssa squinted her eyes.
"If not, how could she be a villain?" Smirking, Jasper stared at the two sinners arguing with cold eyes.
"Let her be mad. It's probably the last tin her life." Sophia and Jeffrey were about to start fighting, but fortunately, the court officers subdued them in time.
