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."

She called Matthew name, and he walked in the room. His face is serious as he stood across Claire.

Claire gestured for Matthew to tie Tom's hands, and he did so without a word. Claire then took a seat across from Tom, her eyes never leaving his.

"Now, Tom," Claire began, her voice calm but firm, "did you send the brown envelope to my office?"

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?"

"I can't tell you that," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Claire laughed, a sound that sent chills down Tom's spine. "Let me guess," she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "The name is Eligos, am
