.
It didnât matter if she was sent there, as long as she didnât plead guilty.
She reckoned that Clara would save her as soon as she became Sergioâs wife.
Sergio was observant, and he noticed Belleâs unusual reaction. His gaze turned cold.
Larry instructed, âBring her to the police station.
âHold on.â
Sergio reached out a hand and stopped Larry. âDonât need to send her to the police station.â
Just then, Belle, who thought she could escape, felt strange. She wondered what he meant by not sending her to the police station.
Sergio scoffed, âI wonder how long it would take to interrogate her in the police station? Itâd be better if I resort to my own means.â
Belle had a foreboding feeling when she heard that Sergio said to Larry, who was next to him. âLock her in the black box. Only let her out when sheâs willing to spill the truth.â
In their field, there tended to be something they couldnât disclose. Hence, it was normal for them to resort to such means.
Larry grasped the meaning behind Sergioâs words and replied, âOkay, Mr. Brooks.â
Belle shivered and asked, âWâWhatâs the black box?â
od. Iâm not sure ar food âThe black box is a small, completely dark room without windows. We lock someone in a cage without giving them water or what could be around, but there could be rats, spiders, or snakes...â
âNo! I refuse! This is against the law! You guysââ
Before Belle could finish speaking, Sergio kicked her chest. âIâm giving you one last chance. If you donât tell the truth, youâll be locked inside till death. I swear this is worse than any way of dying.â
Chapter 262 âNo. No! Iâll tell you!â
Belle grew anxious when she heard Sergioâs words. She wasnât ready to die yet.
Shivering, Belle said, âIâII you promise to let The go after I tell you all this, Iâll tell you everything!!
âI canât guarantee you that, but Iâll be nicer to you il you tell me.â
Belleâs lace paled when she heard that from Serglo.
That only meant he wouldnât let her go easily no matter what she said that day.
Sergio looked down at Belle, who shmped to the ground, and said, âWhether you want to go to the police station or the black box, itâs up to you.â
Belle raised her head and met Sergioâs icy gaze. She made up her mind and confessed, âEâEverything Before Belle could finish her words, the office phone rang Larry picked up the phone. The person from the other end spoke for a moment, and he replied, âOkay.â
Then, he hung up the phone and looked at Sergio, âMr. Brooks, Ms. Stewart is here.â
âWhy is she here? Iâm not seeing her!â
Sergioâs voice turned cold.
Belleâs expression froze when she heard Clara was here Sergioâs gaze fell upon Belle again as he said, âYou can say it now.â
âEverything... Everything was my idea! I owe some debts because of gambling, and I was afraid. So I could only kidnap Mrs.
Brooks! Please! I learn my mistake now. Donât lock me in the black box. Iâd rather be sent to jail! I mean it!â
Belle kept bowing.
Sergio narrowed his intimidating eyes and asked, âDid you kidnap Maeve only because of your gambling, debt?â
âYes! Lowe So million dollars! I canât afford to pay for it! I have no choice, so I âYouâre lying!â
Sergioâs voice grew colder, making Belleâs face turn as white as a sheet in mere seconds, âHow did you know my phone number and the location of Brooks Manor?â Sergio walked up to Belle and warned, âIâm giving you one last chance. If you donât tell me the truth, Iâll have someone break your limbs, and you can never gamble again!â
It would be such a pain for a gambler to lose their limbs, Belle instantly panicked. âThis is against the law! You canât âDidnât you know it was against the law when you kidnapped Macve?â
Sergioâs gaze was apathetic.
Belle felt her legs give out. Sergio didnât intend to let her go.
nt to mee Outside the office, Clara had arrived at the door, but she was stopped by the security guard. She kept looking inside the rooms.
âI want to meet Mr. Brooks. Let me in! Let me in!â
Sergio used to be fond of Clara. Seeing that she was about to break in, they dared not stop her further, for they were afraid of hurting her.
In the CFOâs office, Sergioâs icy voice sounded, âI want her out of here. Canât you heat mo?â
As soon as he finished saying that, Clara pushed open the door and entered the room.
