"I was the one who kidnapped and tortured Jessica," Charlotte said, watching Mr. James closely and mischievously to see his reaction. He looked shell-shocked at first and then she saw doubt and pity creep into his eyes. He thought that she was crazy. Fuck him! She did not need his pity!
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. I kidnapped and tortured Jessica, after which I lied to her that you were the one who asked me to do it and she, in turn, told Sebastian about it."
"Charlotte, why would you do that to poor Jessica?" Mr. James asked, beginning to realize just how much of a maniac this person was. It did not matter that she was related to him. She was a stranger, and an evil one at that.
