Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 967

Lexie gazed at the many unknown torture devices, which caused her hair to stand on end. She took two steps back in fright before running for the door. However, it was locked.

Things weren't unfolding the way she thought it would. These people weren't Rhett's comrades. They resembled demons, ready to take her life.

"Have you thought it through?" The judge leisurely tapped his fingers on the table. Every tap on the table sounded like a countdown to her death, terrifying her.

Lexie turned around to look at the judge wearing the mask. Her legs began to feel weak like jelly.

After not receiving a response for a long time, the judge seemed to have lost his patience and suddenly got up.

Lexie watched him turn to select a torture instrument. Her legs began to tremble as she fell to the ground.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! It was Anthony. He ordered me to do those things. I don't know anything. I only helped Anthony deposit money into Lawrence's account before asking Lawrence to transfer the money to someone else. I don't know the full details."

The judge selected a thumbscrew device from the wall, and Lexie recognized it immediately. It was commonly utilized in the old movies as a torture device and was specifically used to interrogate culprits.

She used to encourage Ember to use it on the maids at the Killian residence, which would make them confess to their mistakes. Hence, she was very familiar with the device.

"I'm telling you the truth. I really don't know anything else." Lexie shook her head in fright. She backed away, trying to escape, but it was impossible.

At that moment, another two figures in black entered the room. They ignored her struggles as they forcibly pressed her to the ground before using the device on her.

Before they could even exert pressure, Lexie began to pee out of fright. "I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"

The judge held up a hand for the two figures in black to stop. "Speak up!"

"It was Anthony. He asked me to find someone to transfer the money to someone called Everly Pierce so that she could hire someone to murder Hera," Lexie exclaimed in terror.

Meanwhile, Anthony was seated in another dark room, gazing at a judge wearing a horse mask opposite him. He was far more composed than Lexie had been.

"I'm on Mr. Rhett's side. Since he's still imprisoned and hasn't been released, he asked me to help watch over Mr. Frederick. Mr. Rhett even ordered me to make his son the next head of the family no matter the cost. He has connections with Astral Nova. Surely, you're here to help us, right?" Anthony straightened his posture while asking.

Anthony believed that as long as he brought up Rhett, Astral Nova would be on their guard and dare not torture him.

"Who else in Killian Corporation still supports Mr. Rhett?" the judge in the horse mask answered with a question of his own. "How confident are they in helping Mr. Frederick seize the position as the next head of the family?"

After hearing the judge's questions, Anthony's initial suspicion toward the dark room faded right away.

He exclaimed eagerly, "There are several of them, and their identities are still unexposed in the company. They're waiting for the right time to strike."

The judge pulled out a phone before passing it to Anthony. It was the same phone they had confiscated from him earlier.
