"Now speak, why did you help Karen steal my design?" Interrogated Kate, as she took a step forward and looked down at him.

Edwin raised his head to look at her—he pointed at Marcus and Steve. "I will tell you everything after you have them removed from this room."

"Looks like you still need to be taught a lesson." Marcus raised his arm ready to launch another series of punches but Kate stopped him, saying. "Wait for me outside."

Marcus was shocked. "Sis, you can't agree to his demand. What if he attacks you after we're gone?"

Steve was equally concerned.  "He's right, Miss Davis. It's too dangerous to leave you alone with him."

Kate shook her head. "He won't harm me. Please wait for me outside."

"But..."

"It'll be fine." Kate was unmovable in her determination.

Steve and Marcus knew they couldn't convince her otherwise so they left. However, they didn't dare venture far from the basement entrance.

In fact, they stuck their ears against the door, listening in on what was happening within just so they could jump out if the situation demanded it.

However, Kate and Edwin spoke at such a low volume that they could barely hear anything.

Kate pulled out a chair and said. "It's time for you to come clean. If you can't give me a satisfactory reason, I have to warn you because I have many ways I can make your life hell."

Her words were as mellow as usual but there was an oppressing threat behind them.

Edwin climbed up with the aid of a chair which he later laid his body out on.
