Chapter 1150 Why Am I Panicking

Natalie showed no sign of fear or weakness, although tears had welled up in her eyes. “Based on our investigations, Dream Corporation in Chanaea is involved in the pharmaceutical and entertainment industries,” the interrogator said.

After a short pause, the man carried on with his assumption. “Is your pharmaceutical business involved in producing those illegal substances? Did you sneak them into Loang in the name of expanding your jewelry business in our country?”

Natalie responded with a cold snort. “What are you laughing at?” the man questioned her.

“I’m laughing at the assumption you made based on the limited information you gathered.” Natalie stopped smiling and pulled a straight face. “Pharmaceutical is a noble industry. You can make deductions from the available evidence, but please stop making unsubstantiated allegations against me!”

“You…” The man was taken aback by how steady Natalie was. W-Why am I panicking? After putting the lamp back on the table, the man sneered, “You think you can get off scot-free just by denying it?”

“You arrested me because you’re performing your duty,” Natalie said nonchalantly. “I’m also exercising my rights by telling you the truth. You can’t force me to admit something I didn’t do.”

Bang! Upon hearing her remark, the man once again slammed the desk. “How dare you deny when the evidence is against you? Stop playing with words!” “I didn’t play with words. I was just telling you the truth.”

“It’s all just sophistry!” The man stared at her from the corners of his eyes. “Since you refused to confess your crime, I have no choice but to do something to make you spit the truth!”

Natalie licked her dry lips. I should keep my mouth shut since the answer I gave was not what they were looking for, and I couldn’t provide them with the response they wanted.

The cops had not offered her a glass of water since they locked her in the room. When are they going to give me some drinking water though…

Natalie continued to ignore him, and he exploded, “F*ck! Say something!” Natalie still gave him the cold shoulder. “Okay! I guess we have to do it the hard way!” The man gave his partner an eye signal, and the latter went out of the room.

A few minutes later, his partner returned with two carts of instruments of torture, like a blunt knife and a chain whip. The man walked up to Natalie and lifted her chin.

“Speak!” He inched closer and whispered in her ear, “Confess your crime right now. You can’t escape the death sentence, but we can spare you the suffering while you’re still alive. You’re a lady, and I’m sure you don’t want to go through hell. For your information, the person outside has given me permission to do anything to you.”

Natalie’s eyes narrowed when she heard that. Who’s the person? Is the person the mastermind behind this? Is he or she from the Leitz family?

Yandel and Natalie had taken all the precautionary measures when they decided to work with the Leitz family, as they were aware of the risks. Yet, she had still fallen victim to their scheme. We have a traitor lurking around, and I’m sure this traitor is someone holding a high-rank position in Dream.

“Is the person waiting outside Helma Leitz?” Natalie asked.

“The Leitzs can’t make me do anything.” The man snorted and expressed his disdain.

Natalie began to wonder who orchestrated this. Who else if the mastermind is not Helma or the Leitzs?

She still could not figure out who the person was after pondering for some time.

“I’m giving you one more chance to confess your crime right now!” The man picked up the chain whip from the cart and started swinging it in the air.

Natalie glared at him and responded, “I’m innocent!”

Upon hearing that, the man lashed her with a whip.
