Chapter 1147: Chapter 1151

Chapter 1151

A loud slap was heard as the whip made contact with Natalie's body.

Natalie was someone who had a high pain tolerance. However, she could not help but let out a grunt.

She thought framing her was already the greatest “surprise” the Leitz family would give her. Yet little did

she expect to be physically tortured while interrogated.

“You guys are using force?” Natalie lifted her head and asked through gritted teeth.

“Yeah. So what?” the man countered with a sneer. With a tone filled with bloodlust, he continued, “You

were involved in drug trafficking and had caused trouble to many families. Yet, you're still unwilling to

own up to your faults. I'm just using some tricks to make you tell us the truth! If this were to be known to

the public, I could even be viewed as a hero among the people!”

The man then raised the whip and struck Natalie once more

Both of Natalie's hands and legs were cuffed, completely immobilizing her. Thus, the whips were

striking her directly, causing her gray shirt to be tattered.

Natalie could only hiss in pain.

The man saw how bloody Natalie had gotten after the hits, yet he showed no signs of stopping.

Meanwhile, the other man who entered the room with him, on the other hand, could not help but cast a

pitying gaze in Natalie's way.

Natalie was fair-skinned. Without the injuries, her skin would have been as white as snow. However,

after being repeatedly struck by the whip, her skin and flesh were torn apart. She looked even more

terrifying, thanks to her bright red scar.

The second man turned his head to the side. In a deep voice, he said, “Stop being stubborn, Natalie

Nichols! Confess your crime and receive less punishment to your body!”

After hearing his voice, Natalie glanced at the man who dared not face her.

“I am innocent,” she declared.

Despite the aching she felt throughout her body, Natalie's voice remained clear and resolved as it rang

through the pitch-black room.

Her face paled, and beads of sweat accumulated on her forehead. However, her eyes remained fierce

and filled with fighting spirit.

The two men interrogating Natalie were seasoned. Yet, they, too, were baffled by Natalie's sheer

determination.

Other people would have normally confessed whatever there was after receiving a few blows from the

specially-made whip.

Even if those people did not commit any crimes, they, too, would have confessed as they could not

endure the excruciating pain.

It was their first time seeing someone like Natalie.

At that, the men exchanged glances.

The man at the front bared his teeth as he cursed under his breath before continuing to strike Natalie

with the whip.

The torture then continued until he was physically tired.

Natalie was drifting in and out of consciousness as blood gushed out of her wounds.

The two men walked out of the pitch-black room.

The man at the front lit a cigarette as he drawled, “Such a persistent brat.”

“Are we going overboard?” asked the man next to him. “Nevertheless, given that there are witnesses

and supporting evidence, she should have confessed her crimes. But hitting her like that—”

However, he was interrupted by the other man before he could finish his sentence, “Keep your

gentlemanliness out of this.”

“Huh?”

“Do you think I don't know what you're talking about?” asked the man as he puffed his cigarette.

“According to my experience, this woman must be innocent since she refused to confess even after

being tortured. Those so-called witnesses and evidence could even potentially be forged... But what

about that? If the Grim Reaper was supposed to take her, then that's her fate. Plus, the physical torture

was an order from Luna Palace itself. We should follow the orders given. Or else we will be the ones

treated like this!”

“Luna Palace?” the other man breathed out in surprise.

Luna Palace was the political center of Yaleview. Only the king and his wives, as well as the children of

his first wife, had the right to reside there.

Physical torture was an order from Luna Palace!

Who on earth did this woman mess with to be given such treatment?

Getting framed and even physical torture... It's as if everyone hopes for her death in this place.

The young man could not help but ask his superior, “Is dying here her fate then?”

“Huh? Do you think that's it?” The young man's superior threw the cigarette butt on the floor and

stepped on it. He glanced at the young man and continued, “Coincidentally, there's a force within Luna

Palace protecting her. She's not to die. Therefore, make sure to find the best doctor to treat her wounds

after taking pictures of her bloody body.”
