“Why do you care what I laugh at?” She suppressed her laughter.
In Boyce’s eyes she suddenly looked like a lunatic.
“Where is Loredana?” A gloomy voice came from the darkness.
“How would I know where she is?” Maria smiled, “Why? You can’t find her? Did she and that man elope…”
She hadn’t even finished her sentence when she felt a strong wind whoosh past her and a pair of iron clad hands choked her around her neck, making her unfinished words stuck in her throat.
Her face flushed as she struggled to breathe.
“Tell me, where is she?” His eyes were red. Loredana going missing had left him heartbroken and void of any humanity and emotions of protection.
Seeing Cormac so angry because of Loredana, Maria wanted to laugh.
However, the laughter that squeezed out of her throat was like broken bellows and unpleasant to hear.
Cormac gathered his strength and pressed harder almost choking any space from where she could breathe. If she had still refused to say anything, he would have strangled her to death!
Boyce saw her being strangled to death and realized that this was not right.
He hurriedly persuaded, “It is important to find Loredana right now! We need her. If she dies, who will tell us where is Loredana?”
“If she dies, we won’t be able to find her!” Seeing him unconvinced, Boyce continued to persuade.
Even though Cormac was out of his mind right now, he could also hear Boyce’s words. Right now, it was important to find Loredana first.
He tossed her away hard. Maria fell like a parabola on the steps, knocking her forehead on the corners.
After a moment of tingling pain, she could feel something warm flow down from her forehead.
Being able to breathe again, she opened her mouth wide and took huge gulps of air.
Boyce didn’t give her much time to relieve the pain of suffocation. He reached out, lifted her up and threw her into the car, “Let’s see what wins, your mouth or my skill.”
He had interrogated all kinds of prisoners. He couldn’t believe that he would be unable to make her talk.
This time Boyce quickly sat in the driver’s seat and said, “I’ll drive!”
He didn’t dare to let Cormac drive because it was too scary.
His face still gloomy, Cormac stayed quiet. Right now, he just wanted to find where Loredana was as soon as possible.
“Captain Shawn.” Just when Boyce was about to take her away, Landon walked out of the house, “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to take my daughter away like this? What crime did she commit and where is the evidence?”
He was indignant at Maria for always causing trouble, but to see her being taken away like this felt like a slap on the whole Herbert family’s face.
He didn’t come to save Maria, but to save the Herbert family’s reputation.
“You can be rest assured. I don’t catch an innocent person by mistake and of course, I won’t let a criminal off the hook. If I catch the wrong person, I will personally come to apologize.”
Saying that, Boyce stepped on the gas. The car passed Landon like a rocket with a whoosh of wind and quickly disappeared from his sight.
Warner stood beside Landon, “Did something happen this time?”
He was uncertain.
Landon was also unsure, “You go find out what happened this time.”
He seemed to have no strength left to be angry.
“Okay, I will go figure it out as soon as possible.” After saying that Warner went inside the house to change his clothes.
On the other side, Maria was taken into an interrogation room.
There was a white fluorescent bulb flickering from the ceiling. The room was small with a table in the middle and Maria was handcuffed to the opposite seat.
Boyce showed her a video of Beulah Shawn, “Tell me, why did you go to find her?”
“This person is wearing a mask. How can you say this is me?” Maria was surprisingly calm.
Boyce sneered, “Our technician has analyzed the video. This is you!”
“If this is me, then what?”
“Why did you go to meet her?”
“I can’t even visit my friends?” Maria said rhetorically.
Boyce narrowed his eyes at her. He could see that she had come prepared.
He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to get anything out of her like this.
He nodded, “Okay.” He gave her a thumbs-up, “I have never seen you so sharp-tongued before.”
Boyce knew her back when she was with Cormac and he used to think that she was pretty good, but then somehow, she had changed and become disgusting.
Everything going on in the interrogation room was being displayed on the monitor in the monitoring room.
Cormac sat in front of the screen and he had clearly seen everything that had just happened in the interrogation room.
Obviously, Maria had come prepared, otherwise she would not have been so calm and would have answered Boyce truthfully.
“What should we do?” Boyce stood at the door of the monitoring room.
He was trying to feel out Cormac’s attitude with his words.
If his soft methods didn’t work, he still had some hard methods. It was just that Maria used to be with
Cormac, so it was important to know if Cormac cared about her.
“No need to feel me out.” Cormac said. Then, his tone became dangerous, “Don’t tell me that you can’t even make a woman talk.”
Boyce returned to the interrogation room again, “Do you know what I was doing just now?”
He continued before Maria could respond, “I went to see Cormac to ask him if he still remembered his old feelings for you. If he does, then I will show mercy on you, if he doesn’t…”
Even though he didn’t say the last part of that sentence out loud, the message was clear.
Maria knew that Cormac didn’t like her and was cruel to her.
But hearing Boyce say that, she still had some hope.
Her hands clenched unconsciously and her voice trembled, “What did he say?”
Boyce smiled, “I just think you are very sad.”
“Clearly, it was you who was with Cormac first, but how did you end up becoming like this?”
True! She got to know Cormac first, so how did she end up coming to this point today?
“I don’t know if you know this, do you?” Boyce asked her.
“Know what?”
“If you don’t want people to know about it, then don’t do it! Originally, you could have had him, but your petty actions ruined your chances. He could have endured your actions once, twice or even three times but his patience is limited. You pushed him beyond his limits, so of course, he left you behind without hesitation.”
“What on earth are you trying to say?” Maria’s expressions changed.
“I am trying to tell you to be kind. With people… beauty doesn’t matter! No one will appreciate you if your heart is dark, no matter how beautiful you are on the outside.”
Maria laughed wildly like a crazy person, “Boyce, what are you doing beating about the bush? Don’t you just want to make me say where is Loredana?”
As she said that she raised her head to look at the camera installed on the wall. She knew that
Cormac was watching everything from the other room and she knew that he must have heard her.
She stared at the camera and said, emphasizing each word slowly, “I don’t know where she is. Even if I knew, I won’t tell you. I hate her and I wish she dies. Maybe she is already dead.”
Boyce frowned, “You really have no shame, do you?”
Maria smiled, “You have no evidence! You touch even a hair on my head and I will sue you!”
“Maria, you really don’t know me.” Boyce’s face turned cold.
*Bang*
The door of the interrogation room was suddenly kicked open!
Boyce and Maria looked at the door at the same time.
Cormac stood in the doorway. The light from above shrouded him, covering most of his expressions.
His slender fingers were busy unbuttoning his cuffs and then he slowly rolled his sleeves up to reveal his sturdy forearms.
His expressions were too calm but Maria’s heart felt cold. She knew very well what Cormac was going to do.
Her heart trembled horribly, “If you kill me, you will never be able to find out about her whereabouts.”
Cormac curled his lips, “Boyce, get out!”
