"Frederick, how are you planning to deal with her?"
"I don't know yet! It's so frustrating. Just stay away from me. When Lyle was coming on to you, couldn't you have fought him off? I feel sick just looking at you."
He had been thoroughly cuckolded; the mere sight of her annoyed him!
Tears welling in her eyes, Miranda cried, "Frederick, how could you say that? Do you think I wanted this? You were right there! Why didn't you stop him from assaulting me?"
She was violated by both of them... She was the real victim here!
Frederick rubbed his face in utter exasperation. Trying to be clever had cost him dearly. He was furious!
Miranda got up, got dressed, and then picked up Frederick's clothes, walking over to thoughtfully help him dress.
"Darling, what's done is done. Stop being so angry. We need to figure out how to get the shares from Stella. She knows we drugged her. She's definitely going to run back and tell Julius. He dotes on her; he'll absolutely come after us."
Frederick considered her words and realized she made sense. "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Frowning in deep thought for a moment, Miranda finally said, "Since things have come to this, why don't we..."
Frederick's eyes widened in shock. "Will that work? If Julius finds out, he'll destroy us!"
"Do you have a better idea? Are you just going to sit back and watch Julius bankrupt you?"
"Let's hold off for now. Your plan is too risky. If we fail, there's no turning back."
"Suit yourself!"
...
It was Carter Coleman's birthday.
He had booked a private room at the Joywave Club, inviting the guys from the auto shop and Stella to celebrate.
