Chapter 670: Scandal
"I will find out the truth and show you," Jared Quinn released her and dialed Leon Rivers’ number. "Get me the surveillance footage from the hotel today, and interrogate Wendy Lynch for me. Did she set this up?""No, Brother Jared, I just looked in the monitoring room and found that those reporters somehow got a hold of the hotel’s surveillance footage and uploaded it online. The entire internet is spreading it wildly. I’ve tried several times to suppress the headlines, but the public reaction is so strong, even Entertainment Weekly’s voice is too loud to silence."
Jared Quinn immediately hung up and opened his phone; there was nothing but today’s hotel incident all over the place. All the news was marked with harsh words suggesting that a cousin assaulted his cousin.
A video, about half an hour long, was getting incredible views. It started with Jared Quinn appearing in the hallway, with Wendy Lynch walking towards him from the opposite side. She saw him and softly called him "cousin" as a greeting, but he, as if losing control, dragged Wendy Lynch directly into another hotel room. This whole sequence lasted just a minute.
What followed was the sound of Wendy Lynch continuously screaming.
It persisted until all the reporters rushed upstairs, which was when it stopped.
The more Jared Quinn watched, the more somber his expression became. When he raised his head again, he saw Melody Thorne covering her ears with both hands. The phone had flown from his hand and smashed to pieces on the floor.
"I absolutely did not touch her, and I never would!" Jared Quinn firmly stared at Melody Thorne. "Melody, anyone else can disbelieve me, but you must believe me."
He could disregard anyone else’s opinion, but Melody Thorne must not doubt him.
Melody Thorne looked up and saw the determination in Jared Quinn’s eyes, which felt like the most reassuring support for her,
Her heart was soothed at that moment.
"Jared Quinn, you must find and show me the evidence," Melody Thorne wrapped her arms around Jared Quinn’s solid waist, resting her head on his chest, her voice tinged with tears.
Jared Quinn could only ever be hers!
"I will find the evidence."
"What about that woman?" Caleb turned his back and spoke.
Jared Quinn’s phone rang again; it was Leon Rivers calling. "Brother Jared, that woman couldn’t withstand the interrogation and fainted several times, but she only claims that you set her up and slept with her. Now, both the public and reporters are demanding we release her. What should we do?"
"Continue..." Interrogate.
Before Jared Quinn could finish his words, Melody Thorne quickly took his phone, "Release her."
"Sister-in-law?"
"Release her," Melody Thorne repeated.
"Alright then."
Leon Rivers hung up the phone and savagely kicked the woman lying on the ground, "You can leave now."
Wendy Lynch didn’t have any obvious injuries, but there were plenty of methods here that made living worse than dying. She passed out three times but stuck to the same statement, making it hard for anyone to doubt her.
But she knew she had endured.
As she walked out the door, all the reporters swarmed over.
"Miss Lynch, do you have anything you’d like to say about today’s incident? Has it caused you indelible harm? What do you plan to do next, especially since you and Mr. Quinn are related by blood?"
