"You... you... you! You knew my brother was poisoned..." Ms. Holden's anger overcame her fear, and she struggled to break free from Ian Quincy's hold.
Ian Quincy raised his hand and slapped her twice, leaving her speechless.
Cecilia Adler said, "This has nothing to do with your brother being poisoned. It has to do with your family getting what they deserve for all the evil they've done." They had smeared her so viciously without a single thought for how it would affect her life.
Just a moment ago, she had been wracked with guilt for scheming to put someone in the hospital.
But now, she felt she had done the right thing.
If she didn't act, she would be the one to suffer.
Ms. Holden's face was swollen from the slaps, and her speech was slurred. "Y-yo..." She couldn't even get the word "you" out clearly.
Ian Quincy threatened in a low, grim voice, "If I ever hear you say again that I can't perform, or that my wife got pregnant by someone else, I'll rip your mouth apart."
