"Even if I were the one who asked the students to bully Henrietta, you can't do anything to me because Ned's going to protect me."
"I still have a lot of videos that you haven't seen before. In one of them, the little mute is naked on the floor eating grass like an obedient dog."
"Don't worry, when I'm abroad, I'll surely publish these videos so the little mute can become the next famous star."
As Angeline read the messages, her hand that was holding the phone trembled uncontrollably. She immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Kevin.
She knew that Tommy was prepared this time because the three numbers were from different countries and couldn't be traced. Obviously, he was trying to get on her nerves.
As he wished, Angeline couldn't help thinking of the extreme fear and pain that Henrietta must have endured during the abuse in those videos.
Two hours later, Kevin called.
He said, "Ms. Emmerson, I've contacted the parents of the students at River Town High School and showed them the messages sent by Tommy.
"After reading them, they expressed their willingness to tell the truth, but they would like to meet with you first. Would you be willing to meet them?"
Worried that Angeline might not agree, he added, "This is our last chance before the trial."
"Okay. I'll go to River Town this afternoon," she agreed instantly.
As the Chief Legal Officer of Fletcher Corporation and defense lawyer of the children, Riley soon received the news that the parents intended to meet with Angeline privately and expose Tommy.
When Ned learned about the news, Tommy happened to be at the Fletcher residence.
"Do you know when she will be meeting the parents?" Ned asked.
"I heard it's tonight. Ms. Emmerson is already on her way to River Town," said Riley.
After the call ended, Tommy began to panic and asked, "Ned, what should we do?"
