"How did they contact you? Where and how was the deal made?" Dylan Finch asked from the side.

The man held nothing back, spilling everything in a single rush.

Dylan Finch quickly arranged for his men to investigate this Mr. Wang.

The man was then let go.

The other man had remained silent, prompting Walker Grant to give him a second look.

"Why have you been silent?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The silent man lifted his head to look at him. "Mr. Grant, you were the one who told us to do this. I just don’t understand why you’d turn on us so viciously in the end."

The moment he finished speaking, everyone in the factory was stunned!

Dylan Finch kicked the man and roared, "What kind of bullshit are you spouting?! Mr. Grant doesn’t even know you, and he would never do something like this. Stop your slander!"

The man grunted in pain from the kick, his face twisting. Gasping for breath, he turned to Chloe Reed and said, "Madam, it was Mr. Grant who told us to do this. He even told us to put on a show for you, all to clear himself of suspicion."

Chloe Reed watched him with a cold gaze. "Oh, is that so? If he paid you to put on an act, he must have offered a lot of money. Why would you betray him?"

The man said, "Because he really broke my leg!"

The man’s sudden declaration didn’t cause the slightest change in Walker Grant’s expression.

He looked at Chloe Reed and asked, "Do you believe what he’s saying?"

Chloe Reed didn’t look at him. She kept her eyes fixed on the man on the floor. "Then he would have compensated you handsomely afterward. That gives you even less reason to betray him."

The man’s gaze faltered. "I... I didn’t want to have my leg broken..."

Chloe Reed shook her head. "That’s not a good enough reason. Even if it was an act, he would’ve hired the best doctors to treat you and given you a hefty compensation—enough money for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

She scoffed. "Do I look that easy to fool?"

The man was dumbfounded...

Chloe Reed looked at Dylan Finch and said, "Since he’s so precious about his legs, go ahead and break both of them. Oh, and don’t spare the third one."

’Whatever his goal was, deceiving and misleading her was the same as hurting her!’

’If this man had learned his lesson like his partner and just told the truth, he wouldn’t be in this situation.’

’But he had clearly been given different orders, meant to make her relationship with Walker Grant even more toxic.’

’Then again, her relationship with Walker Grant was already as cold and hostile as it could be; it had reached its limit.’

’That was why she had been able to calmly analyze the flaws in his story instead of blindly believing him.’

Dylan Finch’s expression froze. He never imagined Madam could be so ruthless!

’Break the third leg...?’

He instinctively took two steps back before turning to the bodyguards. "Didn’t you hear Madam’s orders? Get on with it!"

A look of disbelief appeared on the face of the man on the floor. He scrambled to get up. "No... stop! You can’t do this! I’m telling the truth, I—AHHH!"

A piercing scream suddenly erupted.

An iron rod struck his leg with a sickening thud, cracking the bone.

"I’ll talk... I’ll tell you everything! Stop, just stop hitting me...!" the man wailed.

But it was too late.

Chloe Reed had no interest in listening to him anymore. ’What if he’s just trying to trick me again?’
