“You seem set in your refusal to confess.” Han’s voice was cold.


    “No need for exnations. I will end your life right now.”


    Mavis shook her head in desperation, her voice quivering.


    “I didn’t betray Mr. Thomas. I care for you deeply, Han. I would never harm your friends!”


    “Silence!”

    How could she side with Bruce when she hadn’t even known who he was?


    “If you kill me, my family will seek retribution,” she warned.

    A tense silence filled the room before Mavis inhaled deeply and asked, “So, you’re determined to kill


    me today?”


    “Without a doubt.”

    “Allow me a few minutes to use the bathroom,” she requested, her voice tinged with irony.


    “I don’t want to die looking disheveled. Let me apply some makeup before I meet my end.”


    A flicker of disdain crossed Han’s face.


    “nning to escape, are you?”


    “I’ll be done in three minutes. You can wait by the door,” Mavis assured him.


    Han’s eyes darted to Marcus before he consented, “Fine. Three minutes. I’ll be outside. Don’t think


    about running.”
