“Why can’t I?” Tina frowned.

“Miss Gray, you say we’re the culprits, but did anyone see that?” Sonia smiled.

The question caught Tina by surprise, and she gritted her teeth. “No.”

There were only seven of them in the villa. Toby was sleeping then, while the chef and the turf club’s staff didn’t live with them, so nobody saw Sonia and the gang beating Tina up.

“Good. Then how did we beat you up, and where did that happen?” Sonia asked again.

Tina clenched her fists. “You guys drugged me and took me to the turf club in a sack. I was beaten up in the turf club.”

“I see. So where’s the drug now? And where’s the sack?” Sonia smiled at her.

It was a nuisance, but Tina answered, “It must be in one of the rooms here. If it’s not, then you guys must have disposed of it.”

“In other words, you don’t know whether we have any substance or sacks.” Sonia looked at her. “Since you aren’t sure if we have any of those things, and nobody saw us beating you up, that means you’re trying to blame us for something we didn’t do. That’s slander.”

“I’m not slandering you guys! All these injuries on my body, you guys did this to me!” She pointed at the bruise on her face.

Sonia shrugged. “Are there any fingerprints on your injuries? If not, how are you so sure we’re the culprits?”

“That’s right,” Charles agreed, and the others nodded.

“You can’t possibly leave any fingerprints on the skin!” Tina’s voice trembled with fury.

“Then that’s settled. You can’t prove that we’re the culprits, so if you keep accusing us, we’ll sue you for slander.” Sonia grinned.
