William reacted as he shouted in surprise, "No, Mr. Lach! I swear we're innocent! We have nothing to do with this. Please!“
Nevertheless, Leroy walked up to him and gave him two slaps on the face. "You're innocent?! What about Ronald then? He initially told us he was going to meet up with some friends for a gathering, but now he's lost a few fingers and more importantly, his place as the family’s heir. How do you think you can make it up to him for that? My brother is merciful enough to demand an arm and a leg from each of you because if it were up to me, I would have sliced you all into pieces and fed your flesh to the dogs! Take them away, gentlemen!”
As those from the Lach Family intimidatingly came closer to do as they were told, William nervously seized Leroy's arm and begged with a trembling voice, "Please, Mr. Leroy! I swear we have nothing to do with this! It was all Minerva's idea. She... She fooled us all to do her bidding, so we‘re victims too."
'Oh my gosh! William is going to expose me if he continues.' At the thought of that, Minerva's expression changed. "Don’t listen to him, Mr. Leroy. He was the one who invited Ronald to the gathering, so what did it have to do with me? It's obvious that he is trying to frame me!" she explained anxiously.
Leroy shot a gaze at her and looked back at William. "Did you hear that? She said you were trying to frame her with your cock-and-bull story!"
