"Do you really live here?"Austin frowned and his expression turned rigid.He wondered, "Just when will she learn her lesson?"He turned around to see Susie standing under a nearby streetlight.

Austin asked coldly.She quickly walked to him and straightened her back. It was as thou

Do you want all of us to die?"Nancy was stupefied as the pain stung her cheek.Tears swelled in her eyes almost instantly. She shouted in agony, "But I've already thought of everything I could possibly do. What else do you want from me?"Urma gave Nancy another slap. "Lies! Harv told me that Austin is rich.
