Kapitel 149: Women's Shelter

"You guys go ahead. I'll check up on the girls." As Ace slipped into the passenger seat, Mandy turned to Pam and informed with a casual but decisive tone. Mandy was the first to return, while the other two were still off fetching their car and UTV. Turns out she was right to park her own car. 

Her foot hovered just an inch above the gas pedal as she turned to Ace's mother, locking eyes with her. "Mary, don't worry," Mandy said firmly. "I'll make sure they pay for what they put Ace through."

Mary's eyebrows shot up. "No, you don—" she began, trying to explain she was perfectly fine with just clearing up the misunderstanding and didn't want things to escalate.

But before Mary could finish, Mandy pressed the gas pedal, her jaw set in determination as the car sped away. She didn't bother to hear Mary's protest as she had already made up her mind.
