Chapter 69
“Pull up the surveillance from the club. York, call the cops. The rest of you block her path,” Rhett commanded in a low voice, glancing at the time. “You’ve got two minutes to get your stories straight about what you’ve seen today! Watch out for your words.”
The manager nodded frantically, warning the rubberneckers to stop gawking and beat it!
In a flash, everyone scattered like roaches, not wanting any part of the drama.
Harriet let out a sigh of relief, whispering to Kristin, “Kris… I called Mr. FitzGerald just now.”
Kristin didn’t respond, her gaze fixed on the ground.
“Mr. FitzGerald, look at this,” York gasped, taking a phone from one of the employees.
Adrienne had posted the video of her bullying Kristin from five years ago online.
Rhett glanced at the phone, his eyes shooting daggers at Adrienne.
Adrienne took a fearful step back. “Rhett… It’s not a big deal. Why are you siding with her… I… | gotta go.”
She sensed danger and was ready to bolt, but York blocked her escape. “Ms. Haywood, no one can escape the law. And you were dumb enough to blast your crime spree from five years ago all over the internet.”
York sneered. “Stirring up trouble with serious consequences starts with a three–year lock–up.” Adrienne turned pale, terror–stricken as she faced Rhett. “Rhett… What’s this about? I hit her because she was asking for it. She’s flirting with my man. I’m James‘ fiancée. You’re holding me back and calling the cops… Aren’t you worried about dragging Aurora Tech through the mud, or ruining things with the Bryce family?” Adrienne was shocked, finally grasping the gravity of the situation.
Rhett had no reason to jeopardize his relationship with James over Kristin.
The FitzGerald Group and Aurora Tech were in bed together, a sweet win–win deal.
“Do you think I care?” Rhett shot back, icy as ever.
He draped his jacket over Kristin, signaling Harriet to help her to the side to rest. “You have spread videos and slang mud at others with defamation and invasion of privacy, which has over five hundred shares with rock–solid proof. You’re in for a world of hurt with those charges stacked against you.”
Rhett dangled the phone before delivering a calm warning to Adrienne. “You blasted your guilt to the world. You’re not escaping the slammer.”
