The orange cat whimpered, "The two-legger dragged that lady into the room, and then..."
The orange cat couldn't bring itself to describe what happened next.
The large tabby cat's body trembled. "The lady saw all the dead kitties and screamed and screamed. The two-legger told her to stop, but the lady was terrified, so she couldn't."
The calico cat added, "The two-legger got really angry and started hitting the lady. He asked her if she still wanted to break up."
"The lady was beaten until she couldn't stop crying, and she sobbed that she wanted to break up," the orange cat said sadly. "When the two-legger heard her say that, he took a knife and cut her."
The orange cat: "While the two-legger was hurting the lady, he was also saying..."
"Did you think I don't want to break up because I like you so much?" Linus Hollis laughed sarcastically. "Don't be stupid. I'm after your family's money."
"You're the only daughter in your family. Your parents' fortune will all be left to you."
