“Why did you do that?” the man asked repeatedly. Maura gradually collapsed under such interrogation. She half-squatted and half-knelt on the dirty cement ground, crying and defending herself. “I just wanted to make Evelyn misunderstand. I didn’t do anything. I just didn’t want to see her get everything so easily!” When Evelyn heard this, she unconsciously moved closer to Huston. He grabbed her shoulder and said coldly, “Take her away. You know what to do.” “Yes, Mr. Lloyd.” One of the burly men responded and dragged Maura to the door. Then, he closed the door and disappeared from the surveillance camera. A woman’s scream came from outside the door a few seconds later. Evelyn was so scared by the sharp voice that she got goosebumps.
She looked uneasily at the man beside her. “What did they do to Maura?” “Don’t worry. No one will die.” There was no change in Huston’s expression. He was so calm that it was as if he hadn’t heard anything. This was how this man was. He had no sympathy for the things that he hated. Especially after Maura had done such a thing, he wished he could torture her to death. Evelyn felt a little frightened. Although she greatly hated Maura, everything she saw was beyond her imagination. No one would die. This was the bottom line. Would she lose her arms and legs? Would someone else… Evelyn didn’t dare to think any further. She clenched Huston’s hand tightly, and it seemed she still could hear Maura’s shout.
