Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 153

Donna could tell Amelia wasn’t kidding around this time and almost stepped in.

“Ma’am—”

“Donna, take a break,” Amelia cut her off, her voice calm and cool. She looked straight at Penny, who sat across from her.

Amelia didn’t raise her voice or even frown, but somehow that made her presence even more intimidating.

Donna knew better than to argue. She quietly headed out to tidy up the garden.

Amelia sat back and started eating her breakfast, completely unbothered. Her message to Penny was clear: she had all the time in the world and could outwait her if she had to.

Amelia’s fork hit the table with a sharp clang.

Her face darkened as she snapped, “Who taught you to say that?”
