Meanwhile, Leah was brought into the meeting room on the first floor. By then, Ethan still had his mask on, so she couldn’t tell who he was. However, she recognized Derek.

“I really don’t know who she was. She had a mask on, so I couldn’t see her face.” She felt wronged.

“Then, why were you helping her? You better think before you speak. You should know how serious things will get if I personally get involved in investigating it,” Derek said in a threatening manner to make her speak the truth. Since he was a police chief, he was an expert at interrogations.

“B-Because I was threatened at gunpoint?” Leah wavered and avoided looking at both of them.

“If she did threaten you by pointing a gun at you, then the first thing you should have done when the lift door opened was to shout for help instead of pretending to be injured and stop the staff members from entering the lift.” Ethan scoffed, “You better not lie in my face, or I’ll have all the more reason to believe that you’re her accomplice. Earlier on, when she left the hotel, she tossed out a hand grenade that had injured seven men. If we didn’t manage to arrest her, then you…”

“I’m not her accomplice. I swear! I really don’t know her.” Leah’s expression turned grave, and she started trembling with fear.

again and speaking faster than usual because she was feeling scared. “That woman didn’t seem to be afraid and merely kept quiet. In the end, the man gave in and decided to help her. After that…” Leah looked over at Ethan, who still had his mask on, and added, “I’m sure you’re aware of the events that followed after that. I was petrified the moment when I saw that she was all covered in blood. She was the one who dragged me into the lift and threatened me using the piece of information which I feared most about being known by others.
