Hurley strode in, and with each step, Matilda's heart sank a little. She had always thought that Stephen was her talisman; with him around, Hurley wouldn't dare touch her. But in that moment when she saw Hurley, Matilda suddenly felt as though Stephen's protection might not be enough.
Hurley stood at the doorway, looking down at Matilda with an imposing demeanor. He parted his thin lips lightly, his voice devoid of any warmth: "It was you."
Not a question, but a statement.
Without giving Matilda the slightest chance to hesitate.
Matilda tried to step back, "It wasn't me... It wasn't me..."
"I haven't even said what it is yet, how do you know it wasn't you?"
"If it wasn't you, how would you know what I'm talking about?"
Hurley's words left Matilda speechless. He hadn't even said anything yet, but Matilda had already incriminated herself.
"I don't know, I don't know anything. Hurley, what do you mean by this? I was at home all night, you saw it yourself. The Windsor family didn't even let me into the banquet. I really don't know what's going on."
Matilda tried hard to explain, while beside her, Stella and Erika were whimpering because their mouths were gagged, unable to utter a word.
Stella was Hurley's cousin, yet she was tied up tightly, with no mercy shown by Hurley.
So, regarding herself, Matilda suddenly realized that Hurley wouldn't show any mercy either.
"I don't know. Why don't you tell me what happened?" Hurley pointed to Stella.
"This matter will definitely be investigated for accountability. Those few men have confessed. As for you three, whoever came up with the idea, whoever instructed, whoever did it, I'll only hold accountable the one with the most responsibility. If none of you speak up..."
Hurley paused here, but his meaning was very clear: "Then let's knock out a tooth. Since you're not going to talk, having teeth is useless anyway, isn't it?"
Stella's body trembled, shaking her head vigorously, tears and snot streaming down her face, looking utterly miserable.
Losing a tooth would be so ugly, surely all the socialites in the capital would mock her.
Soon, someone brought a chair for Hurley.
He had no intention of going in; the chair was placed directly at the doorway.
Sitting there, no one could leave.
It seemed that tonight, Hurley was determined to make the three of them pay the price. He waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward to tear off the tape from Stella's mouth.
"Brother, I'm your sister. You can't treat me like this. If I lose a tooth, Dad won't let you off!" Stella roared.
But Hurley's brow furrowed with impatience.
"I don't want to hear these nonsense. Didn't you understand what I just said?"
Hurley's gaze was also highly aggressive, and Stella's words held no threat to him.
Now, in the Walton family, Hurley has the final say. Even Stella's father must show some respect when encountering Hurley. Let alone knocking out Stella's tooth, even if Stella were to lose an arm or a leg, Stella's second uncle wouldn't dare to do anything.
Stella saw someone approaching her with tweezers and became extremely afraid. "I don't know, I really don't know anything..."
She still refused to utter Matilda's name. After all, Matilda had been really good to her, the only one who had stood by her and protected her.
Hurley showed no mercy at all: "Go ahead, do it."
Hurley stood at the doorway, looking down at Matilda with an imposing demeanor. He parted his thin lips lightly, his voice devoid of any warmth: "It was you."
