Chapter 682
Pierre came down from the basement and walked up to Rick with his bodyguard. When Rick saw Pierre's handsome face, he was so scared that his legs went weak. "I-I'm sorry. You're Selena's husband, right? Nothing happened between us at all. I swear, nothing happened. Please let me go!"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Pierre raised his chin, and at that gesture, the bodyguard opened the door and moved a chair over. Next, Pierre sat firmly down in the chair, and the bodyguard released Rick.
"Tell me, who arranged for you to do this?" Pierre's voice was as if it came from hell, making everyone shiver at the sound of it.
This man was akin to Lucifer himself. Even a glance from him could make anyone tremble from head to toe.
Rick's gaze shifted, and he replied, "N-No one arranged for me to do this. I was just greedy for money and thought that if I could get such a wealthy woman like Selena to be interested in me, then I would have more money to spend. That's all!"
Pierre lifted his chin, and the bodyguard immediately brought over a small and delicate knife.
"Do you know what this is?"
When Rick saw the knife, he instantly fell to his knees in fear.
"This knife cuts through iron like mud. But the flesh on a human body is much softer than iron. If we cut your body piece by piece, I wonder how many pieces of flesh can be cut from it."
Pierre brought the small knife over to Rick. As the light glinted off the surface of the knife, Rick was so scared he nearly fainted.
"Are you going to tell me?" Pierre leaned forward.
"If you say even one word less, I'll cut an extra piece of flesh off you!"
"W-Well, it was someone who called me and said that Selena Yard's husband was not at home, and she was lonely and felt unbearable to be alone. If I could seduce her and get her to sleep with me, then I would be given a large sum of money! S-So that's why I went and did it." Rick was sweating profusely with fear.
"What else?"
"T-There's nothing else!" Rick fell to his knees.
"There's really nothing else. It's just a straightforward matter. I thought that if Selena really became interested in me, I wouldn't have to be a fitness instructor anymore since she's so wealthy. I was blinded by my greed for money. I'm sorry! I'm an animal and not even human to have tricked her! Please, let me go!" Rick was slamming his forehead against the ground.
"Who was the other party?" Pierre asked coldly.
"I don't know."
"Don't know?" Pierre spun the knife.
"I really don't know! That person only called me to tell me Selena's

"Yes, because they sent me a sum of money in advance. That's why I believed them."
Rick raised his hand. "I swear that if I'm telling lies, I will be struck by lightning and die a painful death!"
"Is that person a man or a woman?"
"I don't know." Rick shook his head and insisted, "I honestly don't know!"
Pierre suddenly frowned. "You don't know whether it was a man or a woman? Previously, you said that you answered the phone."
"Yes, but the other party used a voice changer, so it was impossible to tell."
Rick looked at Pierre with an awkward expression. "I really don't know; this is all I can tell you!"
Pierre threw the knife on the ground. "Keep him for later."
After saying that, he took a look at Rick on the ground and left the basement. In the bedroom, Selena had not yet slept, so when she saw Pierre coming back, she hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Did he say anything?"
"No." With some exasperation, Pierre undressed and got under the quilt.
"He said the other party used a voice changer, so he didn't even know if it was a man or a woman."
"It's exactly the same as last time. When we interrogated those few men, they also just said that the other party used a voice changer t seems like it's the same person's doing. Besides, their aim is very clear, and they're not willing to expose themselves."
