Lord Nalan nodded.
Linda smiled and stood beside Lily.
Lily asked her quietly, "Linda, do you think that the Lord will really cut off her hand?"
Linda shrugged and said, "I don't know. I have never encountered such thing before. Just stand back and watch."
"I think it will end with blood all over the place. But she deserves it. Oh, what did you just say to the Lord?"
"I asked Grandpa to think rationally. We can't do things in haste. Do you think Jessie is behind all of this? How can Jessie hate me so much? If she wants to push someone into the water, she ought to find someone to push you too!" Linda whispered to Lily.
Lily nodded, "You're right. In fact, I think Rosy is involved. Jessie is likely to be betrayed by Rosy!"
"We will see." Linda smiled softly.
This matter escalated interestingly.
"Stacy, since you had been loyal to the Nalan clan, I will give you a last chance. Who told you to do this? If you confess, I will let you keep your hand."
Stacy was having an internal struggle.
Was she supposed to drop Rosy's name or not? Rosy belonged to the Nalan clan.
It seemed wrong to mention Rosy's name after Stacy had already received the money.
Rosy thought that she was in the clear, but when Lord Nalan asked the question, she was still vulnerable.
Stacy was still shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.
Rosy was feeling anxious.
Her palms were drowned in cold sweats. If Lord Nalan knew that she had done such thing, she will be severely punished.
She didn't even dare to think about what could happen to her if Lord Nalan found out.
He hated vile schemes like this.
After Lord Nalan's question, things seemed to point toward Rosy.
Seeing the expression on Rosy's face change, Linda smiled.
Rosy couldn't do anything at this moment. She was overwhelmed with worry and fear.
"I will give you three seconds to consider my offer." Lord Nalan said, slowly but firmly.
The sharp machete was now only three centimeters above Stacy's wrist.
The blade was so near that it could easily chop off her hand.
With a powerful family like the Nalan clan, it would be easy for them to take away her life, just as easy as chopping her hand off.
Finally, Stacy broke down.
"I confess! I confess! My lord, I will confess. Please don't cut my hand off."
Lord Nalan waved his hand and the two men in suits let Stacy go.
Stacy fell to her knees and trembled.
"Say it!"
"It's... Lady Rosy."
