Chapter 10 I’ve Come to Give You a Gift

When Clara woke up, her head, neck, and arms were wrapped in gauze, she sucked in a cold breath.

She was locked up in a detention center.

A police officer came to deliver her meal and told her, “You’re suspected of murder of ARCTIC Group’s

CEO Steve Lane. You will remain here till you get the court summons! “

She really hated herself for not keeping an eye on that car and letting Steve escape!

Of course, she didn’t want to be locked up waiting for death. She called a police officer. “I want to make

a phone call and get a lawyer to defend me. “

The police officer only sneered and ignored her.

At night, the police officer who had been out came again. This time, he brought two women to the

detention room and removed their handcuffs.

Clara watched them come in and noticed that their eyes were hostile. She shrank back and remained

vigilant.

She stayed vigilant throughout half the night, but finally she couldn’t stay awake any longer, and fell

asleep. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Someone squeezed her injured arm hard. In pain, she opened her eyes but found that her mouth had

been sealed and that she couldn’t shout.

“Don’t blame us. We are paid by someone to do this job! “ The women said while slapping her face.

They smiled fiercely. “She said that as long as we keep you alive, we can torture you however we

want.”

Steve wanted to kill her!

Clara’s eyes went completely red with hatred as she desperately resisted.

She bent her knees and kicked a woman in the stomach. The woman bent over, barely able to get up

from the pain.

Before Clara could get up from the ground, the other woman grabbed her hair and slapped her a few

times, pinching her bleeding wound with two fingers.

“Oh!” Clara yelled as she fainted from the pain.

Ever since the two women were locked up with her in the detention room, the patrols ever few hours

stopped. Every time they left after delivering food, not stopping to look at Clara on the ground.

In just a few days, Clara had been tortured to the point of nearly losing her humanity.

The gauze wrapped around her body had long ago been soaked in blood, and then had dried and stuck

to her. The women had stabbed her in the throat with toothbrushes

Even the saliva she swallowed tasted of blood, and the end she couldn’t talk at all.

Today, Clara was tortured by two women during the day and everything in front of her was a bit blurry.

She was on the ground when she heard high heels on the floor.

“Look who hit so hard, and left our Ms. Rowan’s face all swollen,” The woman squatted down and

reached into caress Clara’s cheek, squeezing it hard.

“Ugh......” her painful body curled into a ball as it trembled.

Seeing the dying Clara, Ruby Leke was incredibly happy, “Didn’t you ask me why I did this to you? It’s

because......”

She approached Clara through the iron door and whispered, “I just hate you! I hate you for being born

to a good family, and for enjoying wealth, I hate you for having such a happy family! Now you’ve lost

everything, and the man you love is also mine. We have a child together, a happy family...... ah!”

Unexpectedly, Clara took advantage of Ruby’s unpreparedness to bite down on her finger.

Her teeth clenched down hard.

The two women in the detention room quickly came to drag her back slapping her. Ruby finally pulled

her hand away; it was bitten to the point where the blood flowed uncontrollably.

“Clara Rowan, you are crazy!” Ruby took tissues from her bag to try and stop the bleeding.

After her fingers had stopped bleeding, Ruby once again approached the iron door. “Today is Steve’s

birthday, I thought it wouldn’t be right it you couldn’t celebrate, so I came to give you a gift.”

She took a photo out of her bag, held it up and showed it to Clara .

In the photo, her grandmother was holding her heart with one hand and her eyes were wide open.

However, her pupils were not focused, and she looked as if she was out of breath.

Clara stared at the photo struggling with all her might. Her eyes were bleak.

“Yes, your grandmother is dead!” Ruby held the photo inside iron door and let her see it up close.

“She learned that you attempted murder and are to be sentenced to death. She was scared to death.

Look how nice I am, I even got someone to take a picture of your grandmother before she died and

brought it to you. “

“You’re lying to me......” Blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth when she opened it to speak.

She remembered that day when she left the hospital. Her grandma was recovering, she couldn’t have

had an accident!

Ruby sneered, “I would never joke with you!”

It can’t be! It can’t be!

Clara suddenly thought of the phone number Donny had given her and a trace of hope lit up in her

heart. She fought to break free of the two women and then grabbed one of them and grasped her neck

with her hand.

She knew that the neck was the weakest part of a human body!
