Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 151

“Why can’t I?” Tina frowned.

“Miss Gray, you say we’re the culprits, but did anyone see that?” Sonia smiled.

The question caught Tina by surprise, and she gritted her teeth. "No.”

There were only seven of them in the villa. Toby was sleeping then, while the chef and the turf club’s staff didn’t live with them, so nobody saw Sonia and the gang beating Tina up.

“Good. Then how did we beat you up, and where did that happen?” Sonia asked again.

Tina clenched her fists. “You guys drugged me and took me to the turf club in a sack. I was beaten up in the turf club.”

“I see. So where’s the drug now? And where’s the sack?” Sonia smiled at her.

It was a nuisance, but Tina answered, “It must be in one of the rooms here. If it’s not, then you guys must have disposed of it.”

“In other words, you don’t know whether we have any substance or sacks.” Sonia looked at her. “Since you aren’t sure if we have any of those things, and nobody saw us beating you up, that means you’re trying to blame us for something we didn’t do. That’s slander.”

“I’m not slandering you guys! All these injuries on my body, you guys did this to me!” She pointed at the bruise on her face.

Sonia shrugged. “Are there any fingerprints on your injuries? If not, how are you so sure we’re the culprits?”

“That’s right,” Charles agreed, and the others nodded.

“You can’t possibly leave any fingerprints on the skin!” Tina’s voice trembled with fury.

“Then that’s settled. You can’t prove that we’re the culprits, so if you keep accusing us, we’ll sue you for slander.” Sonia grinned.

“Why you...”

Tina wanted to retort, but Toby stopped her.

“Enough, Tina. Let’s go back.”

Tina stared at him in disbelief. “Go back? Toby! They beat me up! How can we just go back?”

“What else can you do, then? You don’t have any evidence, do you?” Toby looked at her. He knew Sonia and the gang did this to Tina, but it was a perfect crime. Since Tina didn’t have any evidence, she couldn’t do anything to them even though she knew they were the culprits.

In the end, Tina quieted down and left with Toby. But before they left, Toby turned back to look at Sonia for a while. In response, Sonia squinted at him and pursed her lips.

Just then, Charles came up to her. “Why’d he look at you like that, darling?”

Sonia shook her head. “No idea.” We beat Tina up after all. He should have been looking at me in disgust, but he didn’t. He didn’t look at me that way. In fact, there was something else in his eyes, something I couldn’t put my finger on.

“What a madman,” Charles muttered.

Sonia covered her mouth and yawned. “Alright. It’s still early, so let’s get back to sleep.”

“Let’s go, people.” Zane and the others nodded, then they went back to their rooms.

On the other hand, Tina was standing with Toby outside her room. “I can’t let this slide, Toby.

She flung his hand away.

“I know. But what else can we do? They obviously planned this beforehand, so they left no evidence,” Toby said.

Tina tea red up. “So we’re just letting this slide?”

“What else can you do? Your alter ego left no evidence when she set that snake on Sonia this morning. Obviously, they were getting back at you for that. Just let this slide and forget about it.” Toby massaged his temples in exhaustion.
