"Did Mr. Gilbert do something to you?"
Mrs. Victoria stared at me intensely. Her hand reached out to mine and grasped it firmly between hers. I could tell she was trying to encourage me somehow. She must have thought I was scared to reveal the truth. In reality, I was just wondering how I could make use of this opportunity.
Mr. Gilbert was a formidable opponent. If I wanted to get rid of him, I needed allies whom I could trust. I had some ideas in mind, but I was still unsure of how to start. Not to mention, Mr. Gilbert was a sly person, so the normal method won't work on him. One mishap and he will turn the table on me.
He was dangerous. I had to find his weakness as soon as possible before he found another chance to harass me again.
I bit my lips before looking at Mrs. Victoria with wistful eyes. "If I tell you, would you believe me?"
