He never thought Rebecca would think that way, let alone realize that those offhand things he’d said just to make things difficult for her would stick with her for life.

After heading back to his own place, Jeffrey ended up hanging out on the balcony. He heard Jessica arrive and open the door, catching some muffled sounds from inside, but whatever they said in the bedroom didn’t reach him on the balcony.

He kept fiddling with his phone, wanting to message Rebecca, but stopped himself, realizing she’d probably just ignore him.

Eventually, out of options, he had to message someone else: [Have you pulled up the surveillance footage from the residence yet?]

Riley responded, [The computer’s in your car.]

Jeffrey ordered, [Three minutes.]

Riley sighed, grabbed her other laptop, and after a quick setup, sent Jeffrey the footage he wanted. She couldn’t help but ask, [What do you need this for?]

Jeffrey’s reply was short and to the point. [To coax someone.]

Stephen raised an eyebrow, quickly catching on to what Jeffrey meant.

Jeffrey watched the surveillance footage. It showed Marcus forcing Rebecca to sign something and then pushing her down toward the water.

Even though he’d seen it with his own eyes before, seeing it again just made his anger flare up all over again. He pulled up Rebecca’s chat and dropped the video into the conversation.

“If you want to take him to court, use this one instead.”
