Lilian's expression instantly changed, and her joy became panic. Jacob's words made her heart tremble, and she desperately wanted to blurt out that she hadn't done it on purpose.
But no one would listen to her explanation, just as the police had refused to listen to her at the police station. They had threatened her to try and make her confess. If she hadn't maintained her innocence and hadn't been unaware of the so-called poisoning, she would have been in prison now.
"Mr. Gu..." Lilian begged, lowering her head even more and preparing to grovel.
Jacob did not answer but simply waved his hand. Suddenly, three men appeared behind him.
The men were all wearing masks and sunglasses, disguising their identities and forming an intimidating and ominous presence. Lilian couldn't help but take a few steps backward in fear.
Jacob did not seem to even notice Lilian's panic. He just laughed shortly and malevolently. "Maim both her hands and discover her purpose in my home!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing his orders, Lillian quaked, but these men who were talking about this cruel business were so calm, like they were just making small talk.
"Mr. Gu..." Lilian's voice was thin and trembling. Seeing the darkness in Jacob's eyes, she suddenly changed her tune. "Mr. Gu, I was just..."
"Do it now," Jacob coldly reiterated.
He never indulged other people's feeble explanations. He had investigated everything about the matter, and he was sure that he knew much more than that girl. He looked around and then turned away.
But just after Jacob left, one of the men suddenly stood in front of the other two and opened his arms as if to protect Lillian. "If we really break her hands, the girl's life will be ruined forever," he said.
"No one can disobey Mr. Gu's order!" another man replied in a gloomy voice.
"Hey, gentlemen, please. I can leave right away. Please let me go, and I'll leave right now. In fact, I just came here for money. I don't want to have anything to do with Mr. Gu." In truth, she hadn't been working for Darren. She had done her deeds for two reasons. One was that she had intended to seduce Jacob because she thought herself to be a beautiful woman, while Jacob was handsome and rich.
The second reason was money. She had entered Emily's room to search it because someone had paid her to do so.
"Well, don't move. Let me think how I can help you," the man who had protected Lillian suddenly said. He then turned around. Though Lilian couldn't see his eyes behind the black sunglasses, she thought that they must be full of tenderness now.
"Thank you, kind sir!" Lilian suddenly burst into a flood of te
and couldn't help resenting Lilian for her stupidity.
Having planned to use her, Rosa now found that she was completely useless.
"I..." Lilian didn't dare to explain that she had read about these types of scenarios in romantic novels.
Although Rosa was not much older than Lilian, she was more worldly wise. As soon as she heard footsteps approaching from a distance, she became alert and glanced at the back door of the flower nursery. "I'm leaving now. Remember, don't follow their suggestion! Following them will be just another way to die.
Defend yourself with the law as weapon. Even Jacob has to respect the law, and he knows it." Rosa scurried away after she had reminded Lilian.
Lilian was still sobbing. Encouraged by Rosa, she firmly gripped her mobile phone and stood in front of the three of them. She said, "I have thought about it. I can't leave here with you!"
"We have already planned a safe route of escape for you. How can you go back on your word now?" a man asked angrily.
"No, I won't leave. I didn't make any mistake. It's not me who caused Mr. Gu to be hospitalized. If I leave with you, it just proves that I am guilty, and I'm not. What will happen to my employment record then?"
Lilian blew her nose and covered her face with a trembling hand. "I was trying to help Mr. Gu that night, and his wife just slapped me for no reason. I was wrongfully accused and was questioned by the police in the jail, but they have no evidence. Now Mr. Gu has even threatened to maim my hands. Don't I have basic human rights in this world?
Do you really think rich people can do whatever they want? Are their servants not even human in their eyes?"
Somehow, Lilian seemed to have changed and found a spine as she stood up to these men.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
