A glimmer of fear flashed past the servant’s eyes. However, a split second later, she regained her
composure and lifted her head to stare coldly at Jim. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Sir.
“Like the maid standing next to you, I, too, was under Mr. Simms’ orders to execute this. We hadn’t
meant to hurt her at all, and I hope that you, Sir, and…and this beautiful lady with you can show us
some mercy.” The woman’s voice was hoarse and croaky, like a broken, creaking door.
Jim could not help frowning at the sound of this.
According to his guesses, Quentin must have disguised Charlotte as one of the servants, and based on
how silent this servant had been since they entered the room, he was fairly confident that this was
Charlotte.
Nonetheless…
He remembered Charlotte’s voice, and even though she did not possess a melodic voice, it was still
clear and resonant, not at all like the sound that came out of this woman’s throat!
Bonnie shared the same thought, too.
Initially, after hearing Jim’s accusations, she also agreed that the quiet servant must have been
Charlotte in disguise, but as soon as she heard this voice, she began to doubt it. How could Charlotte
have ended up like this within a day?
Something must have gone wrong! Bonnie glanced at Jim, frowning. Her eyes were etched with
confusion.
Jim, too, narrowed his eyes.
Countless clues pointed toward his postulation; the woman standing before them was none other than
Charlotte!
However, the sound of her voice and the look in her eyes… All of a sudden, Jim could not help
doubting himself. He hesitated for a moment, then finally chose to trust his instincts.
He sneered and strode toward the woman. “I’ve been wondering this since I walked in.
“This is a dungeon, and the air here is quite stuffy. We arrived only a short while ago, yet we’re already
drenched in sweat, so why are the two of you still wearing masks?
“Is this some kind of strange preference, or is it because…you don’t want us to see your faces?”
Then, he narrowed his eyes tore the mask off her face.
“Ahhh!” June, as soon as the mask was removed, let out a scream of terror and burrowed into Bonnie’s
arms, trembling in fear.
Bonnie and Jim stared in disbelief at the woman’s face.
For a split second, Bonnie felt like vomiting, and if it were not for the fact that June was in her arms,
she would have screamed and covered her eyes. What monster was this?
It turned out that the wounds on Laura’s arms were nothing compared to this! This woman’s entire face
was covered in rows of scratch marks that cut into her flesh, but apart from that, there were even deep
knife wounds, and her skin was severely burned, as though someone had poured acid all over her
face. Her entire face was covered in wounds of varying degrees that obscured her original looks
entirely. No one could make out what she used to look like.
Bonnie bit her lip nervously, and she could feel her heart thumping in her chest. “You… Your face…”
“Mr. Simms was the one who did this.” The woman sneered. “He’s a monster. I’m his daughter, but that
didn’t stop him from doing this to me and sending me down here as a servant and hurting this little girl.”
