Chapter 11

• Marie, who was still in the process of recovering from the shock of coming so close to being crushed by the chandelier, maintained her composure and walked in the direction of Lena. As she confronted the lady who had just deceived her, her eyes glowed with an incredible wrath that brought her to her knees.
• Marie lifted her hand and administered a searing smack across Lena's face, ignoring Max's scream of worry as she did so.
• The reverberation of the sound could be heard throughout the whole auditorium, with the reverberation of the hit being followed by the gasps of the shocked observers. As she looked at Lena with her jaw tightened and her hands balled into fists, Marie stood tall and her chest heaved with the impact of the adrenaline she was experiencing.
