Riley fixed her gaze straight on Devin and let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “What do I mean? Come on-you have to lay out bait first if you’re hoping to dig up bigger leads.”
Her words struck like a thunderclap. Devin’s expression twisted in an instant, and even the onlooking villagers froze stock still, caught up in the tense scene unfolding before them.
Bait? Leads?
Could it be that Riley was deliberately drawing the hidden culprit out into the open?
Without another word, Riley shot a cold glare at Devin and raised her phone high. On the screen, her call log was clearly visible
“Right here-I’ve got the record from last night when I called the police after being drugged. The timing lines up perfectly with when they brought you in for questioning.”
She paused, then added with clear contempt, “I really didn’t think you’d have the guts, Mr. Hardy. The police never released an official statement about what you did last night, so you decided to double down? You brought this whole crowd here to pressure me into admitting I slept with that fool son of yours?
‘Did you really think a fake little ‘proof’ like that would be enough to ruin me?”
Riley took a step forward, her presence suddenly filling the space.
Devin was sweating for real now.
He hadn’t expected Riley to come out swinging like this.
But a desperate man always finds a crooked logic-even backed into a corner, he’ll search for any crack to slip through.
Devin knew there was no backing out now. If he folded here, last night’s charges would stick for good.
His mind raced, scrambling to find another hole in Riley’s story.
Soon, he forced himself to fire back. “Ms. Harper-don’t try to bluff me with some police report! If you’re so sure of yourself way not let someone check whether what I’m saying is true? If you’ve got nothing to hide, why are you so scared of a simple exam
He clung to the demand for a physical exam like a lifeline, trying to force Riley into a corner and refocus the villagers attention on whether she was “pure” or not.
Riley knew Devin was just a cornered rat, trying to drag her down with him through shame and spectacle
