Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 972

Gideon's face turned a stormy shade of dark as he bellowed, "Nonsense! It's Tarquin who's done for!"

"Boss..." his right-hand man stammered, hands trembling as he pulled out his smartphone to show Gideon a video.

It was a video of Gideon, under the influence of hallucinogens, confessing to a murder in a rambling apology.

Gideon's brows knitted together tightly. "What the..."

His confidant lamented, "Someone uploaded this video online, and now it's everywhere. It even made its way to international sites, and the backlash is just as fierce there."

Gideon's breathing became labored, and after a moment, he managed to spit out, "Get it off the trending topics, now!"

"We can't. The video's too popular, and there's someone behind the scenes fueling its spread."

As if fearing Gideon hadn't grasped the gravity of the situation, his confidant cried, "Boss, your reputation's in tatters, even internationally."

Gideon was livid, itching to slap some sense into him!

"Shut it! Where's the Bradford Group's PR team? Tell them to fix this mess, or they can all pack their bags!"

His confidant sighed in defeat, "I tried, but they won't listen to me."

"Why the hell not? Are they looking to rebel?!"

Avoiding Tarquin's gaze, he blurted out, "Our shares are now in Mr. Thorne's hands. We've got no ties to the Bradford Group anymore, so they're washing their hands of us!"

Gideon roared, "Then get Alpha on the line! Is pulling a video from the trending list really that hard?!"

"I... I tried, but Mr. Thorne's not only refusing to help, he's demanding repayment."
