Love My Ex-Wife 39

Chapter 39 Torture? "Interrogation room?"

The words had barely left Frederick's lips when Richard burst. in, visibly startled by the term "interrogation room."

The interrogation room was reserved for special prisoners. Ordinary lawbreakers weren't subjected to its horrors but were handled by the police station instead.

Hardly any woman ever set foot in the interrogation room, let alone Claire, the pampered princess of the Prescott family.

Richard had never seen anyone survive the merciless torment that took place within the interrogation room.

Just yesterday, everything seemed normal. When Frederick brought Claire back from Jacob's villa, Frederick looked distressed, spending another night here. Therefore, Richard wondered why Frederick asked him to send Claire to the interrogation room so early this morning.

was chilling, sending shivers down Richard's spine.

Naturally, in Claire's presence, Richard was well aware of where to draw the line. He refrained from mentioning that last night's incidents were a direct result of Frederick's directives.

Last night, Richard had simply been the messenger, carrying out Frederick's commands by passing orders to the gangs at the Eclipse Nightclub. This chain of command, however, unwittingly sets the stage for Jacob to kidnap Claire. If they had arrived any later, Claire might have met her demise at Jacob's hands.

Now, if Claire were to be taken to the interrogation room, what if history repeated itself, and the interrogators, unaware of her fragile state, were to end her life?

Richard had been closely watching Frederick and began to suspect that Frederick's feelings towards Claire were not as steeped in animosity as Frederick outwardly portrayed.
