Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 331: Something You Deserve To Know
Just as Brooke predicted, Damien’s agency reached out to her and released a joint statement, affirming that he truly was with her and left the hotel in her company.
The hotel, did not disappoint, they released the surveillance footage of her arriving in Damien’s car, alongside her leaving in Ethan’s car, with Damien in the backseat.
And, as for the scandal with Aaron and Ethan, the public flocked to Aaron’s side like flies. Not only was Ethan at the location without a pass, but the rumor that he was bothering Brooke made his case even worse.
Now, everyone was waiting heavily to hear his response.
"Mrs Grayson, the number of your followers are rising, they rose a bit after the movie premier, but this is just out of the ordinary. So many people are waiting for the scoop on what caused the divorce between the both of you." Hannah said excitedly, as she poured Brooke a glass of wine.
"You’re also the number one search topic, with number two being Ethan, and number three, your movie. So much more people, are watching you." Hannah stated.
Brooke shifted her gaze to the bed behind her, particularly the empty space next to hers, "I can’t be too happy, Ethan still hasn’t made a statement, and Cassie has been silent too. If I get ahead of myself, I’ll mess things up."
Hannah rested a hand on her shoulder, "You don’t need to worry about Cassie, I’m in the middle of handling her." she smiled.
Brooke rested her hand on hers, "Be careful, those people are dangerous, they will stop at nothing to get what they want." she told her.
But Hannah was not fazed, "With Luther out of the picture, and Serena out of her life, Cassie is easy pickings. You just focus on making that bastard Ethan pay dearly, and once he leaves her, you can finally destroy that bitch, once and for all."
The moment Serena arrived at Julian’s place, she searched the living room for the wiretaps she placed, but was shocked to find nothing. She then demanded to see the security footage. At first, the security team was reluctant, but they eventually caved in.
She watched the footage from a week earlier, most especially the footage of Cassie’s assistant, looking for when she would have placed the wiretaps, but she found no such time.
"This doesn’t make any sense." she pinched her chin, her eyes pointed at the screen, "How was she able to record that conversation?" her thoughts where interrupted when a footage of Scott and the assistant popped up.
"Wait a second, what is that? Play that clip again." she demanded.
The clip was played again, but only this time, it was zoomed in. Serena frowned, "Where is the audio?"
"This brand does not support audio, but focuses on a high grade video resolution-"
She raised her hand, cutting him off, "When was this?"
The guard checked before replying, "Last night."
Last night?
She frowned. Scott had left right after their conversation, or so he told her. So why was he outside, and having a conversation with the assistant?
"Play the clip from earlier, the one in the living room." she demanded.
It was replayed as per her instructions, and unlike the first three times she watched the clip, she noticed something she hadn’t before.
Just before their conversation started, he placed his phone on the center piece table, and while they spoke, he would tilt it ever so slowly towards her. Of course, she had not yet jumped to conclusions, but she was certain he was hiding something from her.
Resolved to face him, she turned to leave, only to run into him, coming to perhaps do the same thing as her.
"What are you still doing here? I recalled Cassie telling you to get out of her life. We just got back from the hospital, she’ll be here any second." he said.
Serena scoffed, "How thoughtful of you. But, let me ask you this brother, why are you here? And straight from the hospital too?"
Calmly, he replied, "To check the footage, and find those wiretaps, that crazy bitch can’t get away with listening in on our conversations."
Serena clicked her tongue, "You really think anyone is going to buy that bullshit excuse?" she cocked a grin, "Now, it makes so much sense why you were busy making yourself sound like a saint!" she slapped her forehead, "You really sold me out!"
In any normal circumstance, the perfect reaction would be denial, but Scott offered his sister a chuckle, "I could never sell out family," he walked over, an all knowing look on his face, "It’s like what you said earlier at the hospital, can’t you let bygones be bygones?"
He tossed a hand over her shoulder, "Tell you what, I’ll offer you a cut of the money, does that sound right to you?"
She pushed him away, her face ridden with disgust, "Bastard! Return all that money I gave you! It’s mine!"
He laughed, "You mean money that belongs to Brooke, whom you cheated and deceived. If you have a conscience, you’ll do the right thing and disappear from their lives." he wiped fake dust off her shirt, "Clean up your act, and maybe, just maybe you’ll earn the right to be their mother again."
Serena stared at his hand, then plastered a wide grin on her face, "You’re absolutely right." she brushed his touch off, "I’ll do the right thing...and tell Julian the truth." her tone dropped.
"I’ll tell him he’s been played by you the whole time, and that skank, Cassie is just an impostor!" she announced, then brushed past his shoulder, charging towards the living room.
Scott followed, "Serena! Serena get back here!" he whispered loudly, his heart sank when he spotted Julian, downstairs with Cassie, and the assistant.
He grabbed his sister by the elbow, "Okay, I’ll return the money, just shut the hell up."
She struggled, "Let go of me-"
"No! You can’t mess this up for me!" he gripped hard on her wrist, "I’ve worked too hard all these years!" he argued.
Their bickering drew attention towards them, Cassie scoffed when she saw Serena was still in the house.
"Serena! I told you before already! Get the hell out-"
Serena cut her off, "Julian!" she cried out, stealing his attention to herself.
He raised his head, "Serena? What are you doing?"
She slipped out of her brother’s wrist, "I have something important to tell you! Something you deserve to know." she said, making her way towards him...
