A growl came unbidden out of my throat. I couldn't help it. Even to my ears I sounded like a lion. Fenju looked up at me almost startled for a second and then down at my hand on top of hers. I focused on her and pulled my emotions together. Losing my cool wouldn't help her at all, so I brushed my thumb over her hand slowly back and forth, hoping like hell she understood how much it hurt me to hear of her being used like that.
My mind was reeling with what she'd shared. At the time of the crime, the perpetrators had been adults and she'd been underage. Interesting and I couldn't figure out why Mr Dai had omitted this information when he'd asked me a help from me. He was likely just trying to protect the reputation of his only child. No wonder he got volatile when he found out we were sleeping together.
