    Chapter 1626


    Agleam of horror shed past Julie’s eyes


    Before she could say something to distract them, Emerence jabbed a finger at her and proimed,” Because she messed with


    the brakes!”


    Julie stammered as she spoke, “I didn’t’ | didn’t even know there was a problem with the brakes!”


    “Hmph Emerence snorted with disdain. “You went running to Madam as soon as you saw Ms. Sherry taking Ms Caprice with her


    If it weren’t for you, Madam would not have been as agitated as she was and tried to chase after Ms. Fowler herself! It was you


    who orchestrated the entire thing. You tampered with the brake ahead of time!”

    Julie protested. “What do you mean | orchestrated the entire thing? How was | supposed to know that Sherry would take Caprice


    with her?”


    “| don’t know why Ms. Fowler took Ms. Caprice away, but one thing | am sure of is that you were behind it in one way or another!


    If | had to guess, you already saw iting from a mile away. That''s why you told Mia to keep an eye on Sherry and wait until


    she made her move so she can go to Madam. You encouraged her to get into the car and chase after Ms. Fowler, the same car


    that you tampered with!”


    Julie''s eyes were filled with shock. She looked at Emerence and seemed utterly offended by these usations. “Aunt Emerence,


    how are you so sure that | did it? Do you have any proof?”


    Emerence frowned.


    Julie smirked coyly


    That was when another voice suddenly interjected. It was the cold, bitter voice of John. “Bring Mia in here. I’m going to talk to


    her.


    They all turned toward the entrance.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Two of the bodyguards promptly brought Mia into the room as soon as the order was given.


    Julie shot a look at Mia.


    Mia was trembling all over Trickles of cold sweat streamed endlessly down her forehead, and she hardly dared to look anyone in


    the eye.


    Zip!


    One of the men tore the tape off her mouth and grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to face John.


    John bore his terrifying presence upon her “What has she been telling you to do all this time?”


    Mia’s voice was quivering. “No... no, Ms. Julie has only ever entrusted basic housework to me. She’s never asked me to do


    anything else.”


    Julie heaved a silent sigh of relief.


    However, it was too early for her to rx Immediately after that, John spoke again. He addressed Mia like she was an entirely


    inconsequential, insignificant being, “You''re from nchester, aren’t you?”


    Mia could not tell where this was headed, so she murmured weakly, “Yes.”


    “Your parents and rtives live in nchester as well.”


    Mia was getting nervous now. “Yes.”


    John smiled at this point. It was a cial, terrifying smile and he went on, “I can make their lives hell on


    earth if | want to


    Mia caught on immediately and grew frantic. She pleaded desperately, “Please don’t do it! Young Master Stockton, | beg you,


    don’t involve them in this! They are justmon folks!”


    John peered into her eyes and assured her, “All | need is for you to be honest and tell me what dirty work Julie had you do for


    her, then I promise that | won''t touch your family and rtives Who knows? | might even spare you entirely if you behave ”


    This was a game changer for Mia, and she seemed to consider it.


    Julie suddenly cried out, “Mia, I’ve never asked you to do anything for me. Don’t you dare lie-”


    “Shut her up,” John cut off her sentence and ordered irritably.


    His bodyguards sprung to the task immediately. They held Julie down and pped duct tape over her mouth the same way they


    did to Mia when she entered.


    All that came out of Julie’s mouth were desperate, muffled cries. There was a definitive look of horror in her eyes.
