Female Novel
Chapter 109
"Even if I were the one who asked the students to bully Henrietta, you can't do anything to mebecause Ned's going to protect me."
"I still have a lot of videos that you haven't seen before. In one of them, the little mute is naked onthe floor eating grass like an obedient dog."
"Don't worry, when I'm abroad, I'll surely publish these videos so the little mute can become the nextfamous star."
As Angeline read the messages, her hand that was holding the phone trembled uncontrollably. Sheimmediately took a screenshot and sent it to Kevin.
She knew that Tommy was prepared this time because the three numbers were from differentcountries and couldn't be traced. Obviously, he was trying to get on her nerves.
As he wished, Angeline couldn't help thinking of the extreme fear and pain that Henrietta must haveendured during the abuse in those videos.
Two hours later, Kevin called.
He said, "Ms. Emmerson, I've contacted the parents of the students at River Town High School andshowed them the messages sent by Tommy.
"After reading them, they expressed their willingness to tell the truth, but they would like to meetwith you first. Would you be willing to meet them?"
Worried that Angeline might not agree, he added, "This is our last chance before the trial."
"Okay. I'll go to River Town this afternoon," she agreed instantly.
As the Chief Legal Officer of Fletcher Corporation and defense lawyer of the children, Riley soonreceived the news that the parents intended to meet with Angeline privately and expose Tommy.
When Ned learned about the news, Tommy happened to be at the Fletcher residence.
"Do you know when she will be meeting the parents?" Ned asked.
"I heard it's tonight. Ms. Emmerson is already on her way to River Town," said Riley.
After the call ended, Tommy began to panic and asked, "Ned, what should we do?"
"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile during this time and not to provoke Angeline?" Ned scolded,unable to contain his anger.
Tommy knew he was wrong, so he stammered for a long time before finally saying, "I didn't use myphone to send those messages. She can't prove that those messages were from me."
Ned asserted, "But you should know that the parents will do anything to protect their children! Aslong as their children can be safe, they won't mind exposing you as the instigator so that thesentences on their children can be greatly reduced!
"Angeline is now planning to issue her letter of forgiveness in exchange for the statements toaccuse you. How do you want me to settle this now?"
Over the roof, Ned threw the phone directly into Tommy's arms.
"Ned! Ned, you have to save me!"
He quickly got up and grabbed Ned's arm, pleading, "You know that Ingrid and I grew up in thesame house, and I'm basically her little brother! If I were to go to jail, she would be devastated!
"Besides, if Ingrid were to have a cousin with criminal records, your parents would never agree toher marrying into the Fletcher family!"
Ned shrugged Tommy's hands off forcefully and pursed his lips.
After pondering for a while, he reached out and said, "Give me the phone!"
Tommy quickly handed the phone to him with both hands.
After dialing a number, Ned ordered, "Book the earliest flight to River Town for me today."novelbin
"Ned, you're my savior!" exclaimed Tommy, wishing he could kneel in front of Ned to thank him now.
"Let me say this again. Everything I do is entirely for Ingrid, not for you!" Ned warned as he pointedat Tommy, his face darkening.
He continued, "From now on, you shall stay put until you can leave the country. Delete those videosof Henrietta, and don't provoke Angeline again! If you cause any more trouble… I'll send you to jailmyself!
"I won't care about you anymore even if it's for Ingrid's sake. I can simply sever the ties between herand the Yates family. Do you understand?"
