Chapter 77

The next day, tabloids and social media were ablaze with a scandalous piece of news. Mr. Bainbridge of the Chadwick Group had gotten plastered during a night out and caused a scene at a hotel, stripping down and performing an impromptu striptease before being hauled off by the cops.

The video showed Bainbridge, out of control and stark naked, in the throes of a drunken frenzy.

Eventually, a concerned bystander called the police, and they carted him away.

After a total rager of a night, Jarvis managed to spring him, stinking like a brewery.

He hadn’t expected his son to cause such a debacle.

For Bainbridge, who was all about appearances, this was worse than death.
