Sonny swiftly unbuckled his belt and menacingly waved it in Dwayne’s direction.
Dwayne clutched his head, writhing in pain on the floor.
Damn, it hurt. Sonny showed no mercy whatsoever.
Dwayne, who was no stranger to his grandfather’s punishments, couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Stop! It hurts! I can remember now! I’ll tell you!”
The beating ceased instantly, but Sonny didn’t rush to put his belt back on, waiting for Dwayne’s explanation.
“I can recall that Fritz Espinoza invited me for drinks at No. Five.
Initially, it was just him, Carsten Loftus, and Lionel Ramirez.
They’re all my friends.
But then, some of their friends showed up at the bar to join our party, and more of their friends came along. It was all guys, and I didn’t really pay attention to them or their names. So we drank together. I genuinely can’t recall any of their damn names.”
Lucinda pondered for a moment and asked, “Did anyone strike you as acting strange?”
He thought back carefully and replied, “No, I really can’t remember.
We were all here to have a good time. Why would I pay much attention to a bunch of guys I don’t even know?”
Lucinda stared at him with an expressionless face, and Sonny raised his belt threateningly again.

“Lucinda, I honestly don’t know. I never bothered to ask for their names. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t be able to remember them.”
She didn’t push him any further. Instead, she handed him a glass of water and said, “Drink some water. Don’t just sit on the damn floor.
Get up and sit on the sofa.”
Realizing she had no intention of continuing the questioning, Nathan quickly instructed Sonny, “Fritz, Carsten, and Lionel-those three seem the most suspicious. Go investigate if there have been any shady activities in the past two weeks. Check the surveillance footage and hotel records of nearby places.”
The photos circulating in the news showed Dwayne in compromising positions on a bed in some hotel room.
Someone must have drugged him and taken him to a nearby hotel to capture those pictures.
Immediately Sonny left, Nathan stood up and approached Lucinda.
“Let’s go and review the surveillance footage of this bar in the past couple of days.”
She nodded, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said in a pleased tone, “Nate, you’ve handled everything I needed to do. It looks Like I’m not needed here.”
