Chapter 261
Belle was bad at putting on an act.
Her E
gaze revealed how panicked she was.
Sergio frowned and asked, “Was it her?”
Larry replied, “Yes, Mr. Brooks. It was her.”
Sergio sized Belle up, making her shiver.
“Don’t you know who I am?”
“I have no idea! Your men took me here. Do laws not exist anymore? I’m going to call the police! I’m-”
“Alright, give her the phone. Let her call the police!”
With just a sentence from Sergio, Belle’s aggressive demeanor vanished in mere seconds.
“Also tell the police who worked with the kidnappers and kidnapped Maeve!”
Belle felt her knees give out when she heard Sergio. She was tongue–tied.
The person next to her said, “Mr. Brooks, she was buying a train ticket to escape when we caught her. The train’s destination is Lentimas City. I’m sure that’s where her hometown is.”
“No! No! My hometown isn’t in Lentimas City! I’m not from there. I’m only going there for a vacation, and I’m not running away!”
Belle was in so much fear that she was quivering,
Sergio questioned coldly, “Why did you kidnap Maeve? Who are you?”
He didn’t even remember he had met Belle before. With his identity, he wouldn’t have anything to do with her either.
Belle remained silent, and Sergio’s face turned apathetic. “I can look into it even if you don’t tell me. Before I do that, I’ll send you to the police station!”
Belle panicked but wasn’t scared when she heard she would be sent to the police station.
It didn’t matter if she was sent there, as long as she didn’t plead guilty.
She reckoned that Clara would save her as soon as she became Sergio’s wife.
Sergio was observant, and he noticed Belle’s unusual reaction. His gaze turned cold.
Larry instructed, “Bring her to the police station.
“Hold on.”
Sergio reached out a hand and stopped Larry. “Don’t need to send her to the police station.”
Just then, Belle, who thought she could escape, felt strange. She wondered what he meant by not sending her to the police station.
Sergio scoffed, “I wonder how long it would take to interrogate her in the police station? It’d be better if I resort to my own means.”
Belle had a foreboding feeling when she heard that
Sergio said to Larry, who was next to him. “Lock her in the black box. Only let her out when she’s willing to spill the truth.”
In their field, there tended to be something they couldn’t disclose. Hence, it was normal for them to resort to such means.
Larry grasped the meaning behind Sergio’s words and replied, “Okay, Mr. Brooks.”
Belle shivered and asked, “W–What’s the black box?”
