They had trapped her into making a confession.

Despite that, Camila remained defiant.

“I'm not a spy. I'm not under anyone's orders. I've already told you so many times that I got it for my own personal use, but I lost it. That's the truth!"

“Why are you so stubborn? Are you still waiting for someone to save you?" They were growing impatient since they couldn't get the answer they wanted from Camila.

“I've never thought that someone would come here and save me. I will bear the responsibility for what I have done. I know that I have appropriated the research results. I'm willing to accept any punishment from them, but I will never admit to being a spy! Or being under someone's order or something equally ridiculous!"

Even though the one interrogating her was very domineering, Camila didn't shrink nor did she show any hint of fear.

She knew that if she showed even an ounce of weakness, they would take that as a sign of guilt and blame her for everything.

On top of that, she also learned her Lesson.

Although Josiah was trustworthy, not all of his friends knew the bigger picture and were willing to help her.

Some people would even make the wrong choice as long as it benefitted them.

Because of this, Camila vowed to herself that she would be more careful in the future.

She didn't want this to happen again.

"Do you have any idea what kind of punishment you'll get if you don't tell the truth?"

The other person in charge of the interrogation glared at her.

“You're pregnant, correct? Aren't you thinking about your child?"

Camila clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth.

“I admit that I've hurt the interests of the research institute. I'm willing to accept any punishment from them.”

If the research institute decided to punish her, they would merely fire her and ask her to compensate for whatever losses she had caused. However, the Local government wanted to make use of her.

They wanted to make things worse.

She knew clearly that once she confessed, they would use her to Launch a public opinion warfare against her country.

The two men in charge of the interrogation were whispering to each other.

Although Camila couldn't hear what they were saying, she could tell from their expressions alone that they were planning on doing something to her.

In just a matter of seconds, she would be proven right.

Since they couldn't get what they wanted from her, they would make her yield in some other way.

By “some other way", that meant mental torture.
