Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 710

Douglas noticed Bernard's fury, so he said to the person on the other end of the line, "Take it up a notch."

Not long after he spoke, Frederick's screams grew more agonizing through the video. "Quickly open the door! Let me out!"

Aside from his yells, there were also sounds of him banging on the door. Anyone could tell that he was trapped in a small, dark room.

The small, dark room suddenly made Rhett recall the incident that year. He finally realized that Bernard was referring to Hera. Did she recall what happened?

That couldn't be right. If Hera remembered everything, Bernard wouldn't be here, interrogating him about the incident that year.

Rhett shouldn't have been so softhearted and merely locked up Hera. He should have choked her to death, sending her to hell to meet Daphne.

"Dad! Save me! Save me! Dad!" Frederick's screams sounded far more agonizing, hitting Rhett where it hurt the most.

Rhett glared furiously. "Joshua, you're trying to threaten me! It's the same as torturing me to extract a confession! I'll definitely report you to the higher authorities for misusing your authority for personal reasons!"From NôvelDrama.Org.

Since Rhett refused to confess, Bernard suddenly stood up and coldly ordered, "Take Mr. Rhett away. Let's show him what it truly means to use torture."

"I've already said whatever I had to say 12 years ago. I know nothing. No matter what you do, I know nothing! I won't give in even if it means losing my life!"

Rhett was still swearing while being taken to the small dark room next door. After he was trapped in the small dark room for less than two minutes, the staff came out from the control room and said, "He's willing to talk, Mr. Killian, Chief Olson."

"Bring him here, then," Joshua ordered. He couldn't help but be impressed by Bernard, who set up the small dark room next to the interrogation room.

The room was full of high-tech equipment. Any criminal who entered the room would confess to all their crimes within less than three minutes. That saved a lot of time and manpower for the Special Investigation Department, and it significantly improved the efficiency of managing cases.

The entire Special Investigation Department had no clue what happened after entering the small, dark room. None of them were brave enough to try its terrifying concept.

Five minutes later, Rhett was brought out of the small dark room by staff wearing protective masks. A mere few minutes in that room had drained him completely. He had some noticeable strands of white hair, making him seem like he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

It was as if Rhett were a completely different person from before.

"Speak." Bernard sat in the main interrogator's chair.

Although Rhett's hands were shackled to the table, he showed no signs of resistance. He began to tell the story of what happened that year.

After closing the clinic for the evening, Catherine headed to Reinland Hospital with the medicinal meal she specially prepared for Hera. Since Catherine had arrived, Lilith and the rest returned home.

Seeing that Hera was finally awake, Catherine hurried to the bedside. "Herie."

"Grandma." Hera sat up on her bed and wrapped one arm around Catherine. She couldn't resist telling her everything.

"I found out who harmed Mom... I mean, Daphne. It was Linda who hired a hitman to kill her in a car crash. It

wasn't a car accident."

"You really..." Catherine didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. Hera always had been so stubborn. She declared that she would find out who the murderer was, and she really did it.

Catherine recalled how she had fainted right away after learning that a bomb was planted at the Imperial Hotel that day and Hera was right beside it.

Thankfully, Isla found Catherine just in time and pressed on her GV-26 acupuncture point to bring her back to consciousness. Otherwise, they would have delayed providing acupuncture treatment to their patients.

Catherine was still fearful whenever she recalled everything now.

"Did you know I thought I'd never see you again?"

Catherine had already lost Daphne, so she did not want to lose Hera, even if she wasn't biologically related to her.
