“Shut up for a moment!” The room was crowded, and each person had a different expression, especially Hedda.
A fleeting look of astonishment crossed her usually beautiful face.
Gladys and Cecilia had returned unharmed, and yet Alston, in front of everyone, claimed responsibility for Gladys’s kidnapping?
This...
Hedda had seen people who were afraid of trouble, but she had never seen someone so eager to take blame upon themselves!
Luckily, everyone's attention was focused on Corin and Alston, and no one noticed her reaction. Hedda quickly adjusted her expression.
Meanwhile, Corin was gasping heavily, trembling as he pointed at Alston's hand.
“You… You beast! I’ll kill you!” He raised the whip again, but Regina stopped him.
