The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 410 Unmasked

Mathilda couldn’t believe it.

Taylor–her most protective, most trusting brother–was actually questioning whether she had conspired with traffickers to sell Lily.

She was his own sister. How could he even think that?

Had Lily really brainwashed him that badly?

“Mathilda,” Bodger said, his eyes red–rimmed with fury, “tell us the truth. Were you involved or not?”

Mergan didn’t speak, but the way his eyes drilled into her, dark and sharp, left no doubt–he was beyond disappointed. And clearly, he was starting to believe Lily had been telling the truth all along.

“I wasn’t!”

Mathilda’s voice trembled with a mix of panic and humiliation as fat tears rolled down her cheeks.

“I love you all! I know how much you care about Lily–why would I ever hurt her? I was trafficked too! I hate those monsters more than anyone! How could I possibly work with them? I swear, I would never…”

“Ashton,” James said, voice flat and cold, “bring them in.”

Mathilda was still crying, still trying to tug at her brothers‘ heartstrings, when James’s command dropped like a hammer.

Seconds later, Ashton and his men dragged in two couples–four people–roughly shoved through the door.

When Mathilda saw their faces, her own blood ran cold.

These were the exact people she’d worked with. They ran stores as a front, stayed low–profile, never flashy. Every time they trafficked thirty women or children, they’d shut down shop and vanish to a new location.
