CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him

Suzy assumed that after enduring the punishment, Serena would break and tell the truth. But she didn’t.
Even after being beaten to the brink of death, she refused to confess.
Suzy stood there, watching Serena, who was slumped against the iron frame, her body covered in blood, her breathing shallow.
A cold smirk curled on Suzy’s lips.
"Serena, don’t think I won’t kill you."
She was sure Serena was betting on her restraint, assuming that she wouldn’t go through with it because she was Evangeline’s sister, the last
remaining blood relative Evangeline had in the world.
Serena probably thought Suzy would hesitate out of consideration for Evangeline.
But she was dead wrong.
"Keep going," Suzy ordered.
"Beat her until she talks."
"I told you... I don’t know you," Serena said, her voice weak but her gaze unwavering as she looked straight at Suzy.
"Why... why are you so determined to force me to admit to something I didn’t do? Not knowing you... is that a crime?"
"Your performance is impressive," Suzy sneered.

"Even better than before. If I hadn't been deceived by you once, I might have believed you this time."
She couldn’t trust a woman who had successfully lied to her own sister for years.
"Why are you just standing there? Keep going!"
The guards hesitated.
"Miss Frost, we can’t keep beating her. She’s already covered in wounds. If we continue, she might not survive," one of them warned.
"Why the hesitation? If she’s not afraid to die, why should you be afraid to do your job? I said keep going!"

The guards exchanged wary glances.
But with Suzy’s command so firm, they had no choice.
They resumed the punishment.
Within minutes, Serena lost consciousness.
One of the guards froze in panic. "Miss Frost... she... she’s not breathing!"
Suzy stepped forward, checked Serena’s breathing, and found it faint but present.
She was only unconscious.
Without hesitation, Suzy pulled out a Life-Sustaining Pill and forced it between Serena’s lips.
Once the pill dissolved, she gestured to a guard.
"Wake her up," she ordered.
A bucket of ice-cold water was dumped over Serena’s head.

The shock hit her immediately.
Serena coughed violently, gasping for breath as she came to, water and blood mingling as it dripped from her face.
Serena woke with a violent fit of coughing, her breath ragged and strained, but she still showed no sign of breaking.
"Serena," Suzy said, gripping her jaw and forcing her to meet her gaze.
"I’m giving you one last chance. Was it you?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Serena gasped, her breath uneven.
"If you want my life, just take it! Stop playing these games—asking if I remember you one minute and accusing me the next.
“I’ve been locked in this dungeon for months. I haven’t even stepped outside. What could I possibly have done?"
"Still playing tough, huh?" Suzy's grip tightened, her nails digging into Serena’s skin.

"Let’s see how long that attitude lasts."
She turned to the guards. "From now on, no food and water. Nothing until she talks."
Without another word, Suzy left the cell, her footsteps echoing down the stone corridor.
She wasn’t doing this out of cruelty. If she had any other option, she would have taken it.
Hypnosis could have revealed the truth in minutes—but it didn’t work on Serena.
The moment she'd tried it during their last meeting, it failed completely.
And that, more than anything, confirmed Serena was hiding something.
If she were just an ordinary person, the hypnosis would have worked.
So, Suzy had no doubt that Serena was involved.
Just as Suzy stepped out of the prison, her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen. It was Simon.
"Suzy, come quickly Your sister-in-law... she’s not doing well!"
