Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 115

"What's there to be afraid of? You're my brother-in-law. Out of respect for your sister, I'll make sure to treat you with all the courtesy you deserve."

Lysander's eyes narrowed into sly slits, but he didn't ease up.

Hugo shook his head frantically, too scared to admit anything. "I... I'm not... I'm not..."

"Oh, I think you are," Lysander said with a mocking lilt.

Hugo hurriedly blurted out, "It wasn't me, it was Charlotte... No, no, it was me, I was out of my mind. Brother-in-law, please, have mercy on me! I swear we'll leave Kingsford and never come back!"

He used his free hand to slap himself repeatedly, clinging to Lysander's pant leg with tears streaming down his face.

Lysander kicked him away with a dismissive snort. "At least you've got a bit of backbone, Leonard."

Leonard responded promptly, pinning Hugo to the ground and swiftly unwinding the bandage from his head. He pulled out a camera and took detailed photos of the freshly exposed wound.

Hugo lay on the ground, clutching his head, feeling the cold air on the wound and hardly daring to breathe.

Lysander took a moment to admire the photos, then nudged Hugo's face with his foot, speaking with deliberate slowness.
