Benjamin opened and closed his mouth, watching Hugo tilt his head toward the window. He gulped nervously.

"What-what are you talking about?!" he stammered, his breath hitching. "Se- second Brother, aren't you listening to me? I said I don't know! She's not here! And if she were, I wouldn't be tied up like this! She'd release me and stand up for me against this humiliation!"

"Oh..." Hugo rocked his head but still didn't buy it. His instincts were tingling, and he could just feel that Benjamin knew where Penny was. His eyes fell on the desk again as he pushed himself away from the window.

Hugo trudged toward Benjamin, stopping in front of him. This time, his eyes were cold while Benjamin trembled in fear.

"Wha-what?!"

"Move away," Hugo said, dragging Benjamin's chair away as he checked underneath the desk.

There was nothing.

Benjamin's breath hitched as he heaved a deep sigh, watching Hugo straighten his back. Slowly, Hugo looked back at him with suspicious eyes.

"I-I told you!" Benjamin yelled. "Miss Penny is not here! Why don't you listen to me?!"

"Then why are you so nervous when I ask?"

"Because... because I don't know! Can't you see this situation, Sir Hugo? I'm tied up here, filled with anger and thoughts of revenge! I want to bury Mark right here and now, but how can I do that when I'm tied up like this? And then you're treating me like I'm a criminal in an interrogation!" Benjamin continued venting. "Anyone in my situation would feel this way because I don't know what to think!"

Hugo assessed Benjamin again before he rocked his head. He looked around the classroom, still confused about how Penny had gotten away.
