Solomon shook his head.
I pursed my lips and walked quickly to the kitchen.
There was a kitchen knife and a jar of salt in my hands when I came out.
Tory saw that and blew a whistle. "You're good at playing, Ms. Lane."
I ignored him and walked up to the man kneeling on the floor. I ordered the two men who were holding him down, "Hold him down and make sure he doesn't move."
Hence, the men held the man down with great strength. I raised the knife in my hand and asked without a single expression on my face, "Answer my question. Where’s my husband?"
The man was not afraid at all. "After taking Theo away, we asked him several questions. After he answered our questions, we killed him. The body found near the crime scene belongs to him."
I sneered and looked at Solomon. "Come over and hold his arm."
Solomon did as he was told.
"Of course, you can choose not to be honest with me, but you have to bear the consequences. Since you said that you killed my husband, you have to pay for it. I should claim your life, but you’ll be getting it easy if you just die like that.
"Next, I’ll ask you more questions. If I'm not satisfied with your answers, then I’ll chop one of your fingers off. When all your fingers are chopped off, I’ll chop your toes. When all your toes are chopped off, I’ll chop off your arm until there's nothing left to chop. Moreover, I'll add salt after every chop. I’ll make sure you suffer greatly."
I looked at the man with sinister eyes, my words coming off greatly vicious as well.
Solomon glanced at me, maybe finding it hard to believe that I would say such cruel words.
Tory was also shocked. "Holy shit. You’re such a brutal woman. It's no wonder they say that a woman's heart is the most toxic in the world."
"Shut up!" I yelled at him.
He froze, maybe because he had not seen me like this before.
