Shera's father, the design competition, and now this car crash—all of it traced back to her.
Helga Sutton. The Sutton family.
He had assumed Caden intercepted the interrogation logs to protect his precious mistress, but it turned out he was playing the long game to catch a bigger fish.
He had underestimated him.
He tapped the screen, rewinding the audio to the most crucial part.
"I'll make you a deal. Give me something useful, name the person pulling your strings, and I'll settle this out of court on Shera's behalf."
"I'll arrange for you to go abroad and give you enough money to guarantee you and your son are set for life."
"It was Helga! Helga told me to do it!"
Rhys replayed those few lines over and over.
It was clear. It was explicit. And it was highly entertaining.
Pressing the save button, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had never expected Rosalie Kerr to hand him such a spectacular gift.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
Since he now possessed the "evidence," there was no longer any need for the sole witness who could prove Caden's innocence to exist.
He dialed Vivienne Sinclair's number.
"You can make the move on Rosalie Kerr now."
He stared at his phone, a wicked smirk playing on his lips.
"Oh, Caden. Let's see how you explain your way out of this one."
—
When Helga arrived at the precinct, the front desk informed her that Rosalie had been transferred to the Southside Detention Center twenty minutes prior.
They claimed it was a directive from higher-ups to facilitate the trial proceedings.
So, she got back in her car and drove south.
Twenty minutes ago meant they had just missed each other.
Tsk. What a coincidence.
She had originally intended to send Lucius to visit Rosalie and pry into the details of her conversation with Caden.
