Chapter 127

At breakfast the next day, Christian was still pissed. The only consolation he got was that Annie didn’t believe he did any of those things alleged by the so-called ‘victims’. Yarrington and Weaver assured the Duke that they were looking into the complaints made against him first, and asked for an alibi for the dates and times mentioned in the ten complaints.

He and Annie went through their photographs in their iCloud Drive, and managed to negate the validity of two complaints. Then, they got out their photo albums, where Annie had a habit of writing the dates on the back of every photograph. Christian began regretting not making time to upload every photograph they took together on the Drive.

They scoured through the thousands of pictures they took over the years, praying that there would be a date and time which would match up with the ones in the allegations. After four hours, they managed to negate another three complaints.

Xandar and Lucianne cross-checked the dates and times with government meetings recorded on Xandar’s laptop, and managed to negate the credibility of another three complaints. That left two more complaints standing against the Duke.

What made the Duke’s temperament worse was that the anonymous informant’s number that the journalists and reporters gave him tumed out to be unreachable. Chief Dalloway and his people tracked the phone to a dumpster, and retrieved it before sending it to the lab for a fingerprint scan. Alas, the scan tumed out to be fruitless because no registered citizen’s fingerprints matched the ones found on the burner phone.

“I honestly can’t see how my wife is so calm about this. I can kill, and I mean literally kill right now, cuz, you know what I mean?” Christian said after swallowing his food.

Xandar gave his cousin an encouraging pat on his shoulder before he said, “They’re looking into it. Yarrington and Weaver have always been efficient. They’ll crack this case soon, Christian.”
