Gage frowned, and his eyes darkened.
Today, there were only four people the racecourse, King Ducasse, Martha, Andrew and Daisy.
Now Louis had brought his men to the Lucas family. He claimed that King Ducasse had sent him to find out the truth. Was he suspecting that the Lucas siblings were behind this incident?
The members of the Lucas family each had their own thoughts, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Sam didn't care about any of that; he was only concerned about Martha's condition.
"How is Martha doing now?" he asked.
Louis glanced sideways at Sam, pursed his thin lips, and said nothing.
He didn't come here to tell these people about Martha's situation, but to punish the culprit.
Louis' eyes narrowed as he stared sharply at Daisy and Andrew.
"Tell me," he demanded sternly. "What did you do?"
Daisy trembled upon hearing his words and turned pale but refused to confess.
"I... I don't know what happened, we just followed King Ducasse over there for horseback riding."
As soon as she finished speaking, Louis turned his head towards Andrew with an intense gaze.
"How about you?"
Andrew stiffened up and unconsciously tightened his hand by his side but remained silent instead of admitting guilt, since his father and uncle were also there. As long as he denied it, Louis dared not do anything to him tonight.
Thinking this way in his mind, he tightened his hand by his side, making up his mind not to say a word.
In his opinion, it was better not to say anything than to say more wrong things.
Louis didn't wait for an answer from Andrew because he already knew what was going through his mind! With a sneer on his face, Louis stepped forward until they were standing just two steps apart from each other.
"What? You want me to believe that you weren't involved?" Louis challenged him menacingly. Andrew took one step back nervously while trying hard not show how scared or guilty felt inside himself! He tried defending himself weakly. "It wasn't us who did this!"
Sam knew the reason - Martha was an eyesore in Daisy's eyes for Martha was the competitor for the position of the queen. Yet he didn't know why Andrew was involved.
Gage pretended to be imposing as he glared at the two children in front of him and demanded, "Speak up! What is going on?"
Sam stood next to him with a collected expression and deep gaze fixed on the siblings not far away.
He was waiting for them to explain themselves; if they really did harm Martha, then he wouldn't let them get away with it. In Z Country, no one was allowed to harm Elsie's child!
In the end, Andrew couldn't withstand his father's pressure any longer and tremblingly explained what happened.
Naturally, he didn't tell the truth; he wasn't stupid enough to admit guilt outright, so instead he fabricated a story.
"I don't know what you're talking about with this aphrodisiac stuff but today at the stables... there was conflict between me and Martha. She... she went crazy in the dressing room and attacked me."
"It was obvious she wanted to seduce me but I just pushed her away lightly; she ended up injuring me herself! I didn't do anything wrong!"
Upon hearing this explanation Louis became enraged. "That's nonsense!"
