Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Exposed

Elliana Lyle returned to the room and quickly wrapped herself in a small blanket. She was nearly frozen to death up on the rooftop; despite the bright sun, the wind that blew was still cold.

At this moment, in the abandoned warehouse of the Vicars Hotel.

Two women in formal dresses were tightly bound and lying on the ground; they were May Lewis and Lisa Johnson, the ones who tried to take Elliana away.

A bodyguard in a suit stared intently at them. Since they were tied up last night by Norman Bennett’s people, they hadn’t seen Norman since.

Unlike Lisa Johnson, May Lewis remained very quiet, not cursing but sobbing secretly.

Lisa Johnson, on the other hand, only moved slightly on the ground, twisting her body with effort. She no longer had the energy she had at the beginning. After being tied up for so long, she was almost at her limit.

Squeak―――!

The sound of the iron door opening was dull and piercing. Blinding light quickly flooded in as a strikingly handsome man walked in against the light, exuding a demeanor of a judge.

He was followed by several bodyguards.

Raymond Wood brought a clean chair, placing it four meters away from the two women, and Norman Bennett sat down next to it, his gaze coldly fixed on the two writhing on the ground.

Norman was too busy last night to deal with them. According to Dongzi, these two had refused to speak the truth since last night.

Being tied up overnight, they seemed a lot more docile.

"Mr. Bennett, it wasn’t me! It really wasn’t! It was her! She was the one who made me do it. She even slapped Miss Lyle! I never bullied Miss Lyle!" May Lewis finally had the chance to explain to Norman Bennett as he arrived, desperately looking up at him, hoping he would let her go.

Lisa Johnson, upon hearing this, instantly turned red with rage, "You little bitch, what do you mean I made you do it! Weren’t you also trying to please Timara Zephyr? You were the one who gave Elliana the drink!"

"You just said, who did she hit?" Norman Bennett asked this in a calm, knife-sharp voice.

Of course, he had seen the surveillance.

"She hit Miss Lyle! She did it right in the hallway, Mr. Bennett! She called me over to support Miss Lyle. That’s all I know!" May Lewis explained desperately, her eyes full of pleading and innocence.

"Raymond, hit her."
