Chapter 835:
âAh! You maniac! Youâre going to pay for this!â she shrieked.
Oaklee, unperturbed, silenced her with a swift, firm slap.
His voice was cold and commanding.
âThis is your final warning.â
âReveal Harleeâs whereabouts and your intentions, or I will strip every single hair from your head!â Oaklee demanded, his voice cutting through the tense air.
Etta hissed through clenched teeth, âAh⦠Youâre heartless, a demonâ¦â
Her protests were met with another sharp yank, and another batch of her hair was ripped out.
Ettaâs cries of pain echoed in the room, but the trio remained indifferent, their expressions unyielding as they pressed on.
Pushed to her breaking point, Etta finally gave in.
âIâll confess. Iâll tell you everything,â she gasped, her voice shaking.
With patches of her hair missing and her resistance crushed, Etta cast a desperate glance at her interrogators.
âIâll cooperate,â she said, trembling.
âJust please stop pulling out my hair. Iâll tell you all I know.â
Oaklee offered a smug smile.
âIf you had cooperated earlier, you wouldnât have lost your hair over this.â
Kareemâs voice was icy as he added, âNo games, or youâll deeply regret it.â

Exhausted and terrified after enduring nearly half an hour of relentless interrogation, Etta had no strength left to lie. She began to divulge everything she knew, outlining Haleâs plans and Lindsayâs role in them.
âThatâs everything I know,â she admitted, her voice faint.
âYouâll have to get the rest from Lindsay.â
At the mention of Lindsay, a flicker of lethal intent flashed in Kareemâs eyes, his jaw tightening briefly. The weight of the revelation lingered in the room.
It was then that Fleming entered, breaking the charged silence. Leaning in close to Kareem, he murmured, âHer story checks out. Lindsay is missing indeed.â
Upon hearing Flemingâs words, Kareem immediately connected the dots. There was no doubt in his mindâLindsay had abducted Harlee. Without hesitation, he instructed Oaklee to deal with Etta, emphasizing that she should be stripped of any opportunity to cause further harm.
Oaklee grinned confidently.
âDonât worry. Iâll take good care of her.â
By 5:00 p.m., the attendees of the intimate gathering had dispersed under Brentonâs supervision.

Within minutes, the announcement had garnered millions of reactions, leaving people stunned and confused.
Comments flooded in as the public speculated about the sudden turn of events.
