Chapter 138 – Save Yourself from Torture
The maid was startled, feeling as if she had done something wrong, and stammered, "I don’t know, Mr..."
Alex cut in, "It’s alright. Just go." The maid hastened, feeling relieved, as she had no idea what those items were going to be used for. Joanna’s curiosity was piqued, and she asked Alex,
"Is there something you are not telling me?"
Alex shook his head, surprised that Joanna didn’t know something so basic. "Why are you so naïve?" he asked. Joanna was confused as he explained, "Bread, hot sauce, and water can help knock out her hysteria."

"Will you start talking?" Alex’s voice lacked warmth, and the maid was afraid. She had always heard people talk about how ruthless her boss could be but had never been directly affected by it.
This looked like one of those times to make it happen, but then she felt her madam was soft and would save her.

Alex chuckled bitterly. Why was it so difficult for people to be honest and confess, instead choosing to endure torture before doing so?
"Cut off her fingers," Alex ordered, causing Joanna’s eyes to widen. "What?"
