“I… I…” Helene's words caught in her throat. She couldn’t get anything out.
“Can’t say it?” Julian’s voice was icy.
Helene’s face turned pale. She just stood there, silent, not a single word coming out.
“Miles, take her away. Finish her quietly.”
The moment Julian said that, Helene’s eyes went wide in terror. She stood frozen, unable to believe what she’d just heard. When someone grabbed her arms, reality finally hit her, and she started to beg.
“No, Julian, please, no! I don’t want to die. Please, I don’t want to die.”
“Then tell me who it was. Who told you?” Julian’s eyes narrowed, sharp and unforgiving.
Up above, Claire was still hanging, her whole body trembling with fear. She could barely breathe from the tension.
But Helene just clenched her jaw and stayed quiet.
Julian let out a cold laugh. “Take her away.”
“No! Please, no! I’m begging you, Julian, don’t do this. Please, just let me go…”
“Julian! Julian! Please, help me…”
“I don’t know anything! I swear, I don’t know anything…”
A wail tore from her throat. “Fine! I’ll talk, I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything! It was her, she’s the one who told me, she said everything…”
Helene collapsed, sobbing and screaming, puddled on the floor.
Claire shuddered. She didn’t hesitate for a second. “Don’t you dare lie just because you’re scared. I’ve never even met you. Why would I say anything to you?”
