Chapter 358 Hubert Verkade

• "You can only protect yourself by being heartless..." Mackenzie repeatedly muttered that line to herself as a cold smirk slowly spread across her face. She had always been an opinionated little girl, and while she never listened to what her mother said, she never forgot that line. She never thought the day would come when she grasped its meaning.

• "It's over. It's all over..." As she muttered, she gradually reverted to her cold and callous mindset, her face turning icy and emotionless.
