Chapter 1630
Soon after Keagan finished speaking, two black-clad guards took Alkaid away.
She was taken to an interrogation room-like place.
On the walls of the room hung various torture devices, some of which still had plenty of bloodstains.
After looking around them, Alkaid showed intense fear in her eyes and began to struggle.
"Let me go! I'm going back... I really don't know anything!"
As she shouted, her tears streamed down her face as if she was terrified.
But the guards paid no attention to that. They swiftly bound her arms and secured her body to a pillar.
She was completely like a prisoner from ancient times, waiting to be flogged!
But this was a fact.
At this point, Keagan came in with a long whip.
The long whip seemed to have been forged from a special material, silver-white with dense barbs.
If it hit someone, it would definitely hook up their skin and flesh.
Alkaid instantly shook, fully embodying her fear and trepidation.
"Beth Shepard, I give you one more chance, and it is your last. If you still refuse to reveal anything,
then don't blame me for whipping you!"With tears in her eyes, Alkaid shook her head madly, "I really don't know anything."
Keagan looked at her grimly. "You’re too stubborn!"
Then he swung his whip fiercely at her.
Seeing the shining silver light approaching her, Alkaid trembled.
The next moment, she lost consciousness as if she couldn't bear seeing it.
Keagan hadn't expected Beth to be so timid. Unable to withdraw his whip, he had to crack it weakly
one more time.
But it was still a little too late.
The long whip sank into Alkaid's shoulder, making a few blood streaks as it came out. Of course, her
clothes were also torn apart in the process.
Alkaid, already unconscious, trembled violently due to the severe pain, her brows knitted, her face
contorted in agony. She let out a muffled moan.
The guards came to check on her, but found that she was still unconscious.
She seemed to have truly lost consciousness.
Ward slowly made his way inside and frowned as he saw this.
Keagan immediately reported, "She passed out before we could even start. It seems that Beth Shepard
is indeed delicate, capricious, and incapable of shouldering anything, just as the investigation report
claims. The Shepard family couldn't have been so stupid to tell those things to her."Ward was calm as if he had expected this.
"I never expected much out of this woman. She is just a pawn. The key to this matter is Selon! He's
highly suspicious, but too smart to have shown any flaws."
Keagan nodded in agreement. "What should we do next?"
Ward contemplated for a moment, staring at Beth before finally revealing a sinister smile. "Everyone
has their weaknesses. Since Beth is his blood sister, Selon surely wouldn't want anything to happen to
her, right?"
"You mean?"
Having generally guessed what Ward meant, Keagan looked at "Beth" subconsciously.
Alkaid was now in poor condition.
Large patches of blood had already appeared on her shoulder.
The wounds inflicted by the whip were far more serious than what was visible.
And it was fair to say it was a bloody mess.
And there were also bloodstains on her clothes, so she looked terrifying.
Ward's smile was a little ferocious. As if observing an artwork, he looked at Beth and smiled, "She
doesn't look miserable enough!"
