Inheritance of Lies
Laurel suddenly said in a gloomy tone, "And then you'll be the heiress of a rich family, and the three of us will still be poor."
I promised them immediately, "Don't worry. I'll make it worth your while. Enough talking. First, we make them tell us where my real parents are."
The three of them tied up the fake parents again. To keep them from escaping this time, they tied them extra tight.
Then, they splashed water on them to wake them up.
"Talk! Where did you hide my parents?" I demanded.
At first, the three of them stayed stubbornly silent.
I didn't waste words. If they didn't talk, I shocked them. In the end, they couldn't take it anymore and finally told the truth.
