Mia Shaw glanced at Leo and asked, "Oh, what happened here? Who beat Leo up like this?"
Henry Underwood stood to the side, watching Mia Shaw. She had been coming back occasionally of late.
When Charles Prescott was at work, it was just her and Leo at home!
Besides her, it couldn't have been the servants who did it!
The servants had been with the family for a long time. Their characters were well understood; they would never hit a child.
Seeing Mia Shaw's complete denial, Sylvia Warren said, "Don't think this will be resolved just because you refuse to admit it."
Mia Shaw gave Sylvia Warren a dismissive glance before her eyes landed on Leo. She squatted down, looked at Leo, and said, "Leo, tell your mother who gave you these injuries."
The moment she spoke to him, Leo lowered his head, not daring to meet her eyes.
Mia Shaw said, "Good boy, come on, tell us. Did I hit you?"
Her tone was forceful, the threat within it obvious.
Leo was too terrified to speak.
