Chapter 163 Capturing him

"You?!"

Claire smirked, not bothering to hide her satisfaction. "Surprised to see me?"

Tom's eyes widened, a mix of shock and fear crossing his face. "What are you doing here?"

"I think it's time we had a little chat," Claire said, her voice cold. She set the tattoo gun aside and crossed her arms, glaring down at him. "I want answers, Tom. And you're going to give them to me."

Tom tried to sit up, but Claire pushed him back down. "Stay put," she ordered. "You're not going anywhere."

Tom shook his head vigorously, his face pale. "No, I don't know anything about that. I swear!"

Claire leaned back in her chair, her eyes narrowing. "If you don't know anything, then why did you look so surprised when you saw me?"

Tom cleared his throat nervously, avoiding her gaze. "I was just told to... to do certain things," he stammered.

Claire raised her eyebrows, her interest piqued. "By whom, Tom? Who told you to do these things?"
