Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 826

Tiana watched the video, her face first twisting in jealousy and disgust before she suddenly fell into deep thought.

Jerry hesitated before asking, "Mrs. Rhodes, this video could seriously impact the Rhodes family's reputation. Should we have someone take it down?"

Tiana immediately waved her hand. "No need! Send out a company-wide notice under my name—every single one of Rhodes Corporation's 500 employees is required to share and repost this video at least once."

Jerry looked at her in shock. "What?"

Tiana smirked. "Don't you see? This video couldn't have come at a better time. It's the perfect distraction to bury all the bad press the company was getting before. Now, this is all the public will talk about."

…

Meanwhile, at Bane's mansion, Michael was undergoing treatment to detox his system.

Bane said, "Mr. Rhodes, your body is fine. You just have some lingering effects from a strong aphrodisiac, which left you overheated and exhausted. You'll be back to normal in a couple of days."

He gestured for Michael to put his pants back on.

Michael gritted his teeth. "It's not just that—I have a splitting headache too. What's causing that?"

Bane answered, "That's from a heavy blow to the head. Think—did someone beat the hell out of you recently?"

Michael's mind instantly flashed back to Shiloh's veiled face, and his expression twisted in rage. "That bitch!"

The last thing he remembered was getting slapped by Shiloh so hard he blacked out. When he woke up, he had already been moved to Bane's place. What happened in between was a complete mystery. All he knew was that he had woken up feeling feverish, unbearably restless, and with a pounding headache.

Just then, his phone buzzed with a new message. Michael glanced at it and frowned. "Why the hell is someone sending me a video? Boring."
