The butler leaned in a bit, lowering his voice, "The cameras over at Moonlight are pretty spotty. We didn''t catch anyone on them."
Nobody in the city really knew who owned Moonlight. The mysterious owner had never shown their face, but everyone knew it was a goldmine, and no one dared to stir up trouble there. It was the go-to spot for the city''s elite.
Even though Walter had the means to squeeze information out of Moonlight, he thought it was beneath him. This was just a petty squabble among the younger crowd, and getting involved in such a trivial mess would be undignified.
He took a deep breath, mping down on his anger. "Let''s move up Simon and Quinn''s wedding and sweep this whole thing under the rug."
Simon and Quinn''s wedding ns were already in motion, but the Bradford family had set ra up for a different arrangement. With Walter''s directive, Quinn and Simon''s wedding was suddenly slotted for the end of the month, which was originally ra''s wedding date.
Quinn was over the moon, gently patting her belly. "Mom, what about ra and Nate?"
ra was supposed to marry Nate, but now Quinn''s wedding was taking priority. If ra managed to dodge that bullet, Quinn wouldn''t be happy.
"Why don''t we just send ra over to Nate''s? She''s been acting out too muchtely; maybe she just needs a man to keep her in line."
Naomi quickly agreed. "Don''t worry, once your wedding''s all sorted, I''ll send ra there."
Quinn let out a sigh of relief, her grin widening at the thought of ra being stuck with someone like Nate for life. She quickly whipped out her phone to send ra a text.
Quinn: [You''ve got toe to me and Simon''s wedding, ra. Thanks for picking such a great husband for me all these years. I''m really happy with him.]
ra saw the message and simply replied with a word: [Congrats.]
Quinn red at the chilly response, feeling ra wasn''t nearly as upset as she should be. She called ra right away, but ra didn''t pick up.
Fuming, Quinn sat on the couch, gripping her phone tightly, and fired off another text. Quinn: [From the day I came back to the Bradford family and saw you in that dress next to Simon, I knew you two had no future. ra, you''ll never measure up to me. Everyone around you will choose me, and they''ll all turn their backs on you.]
ra promptly blocked her, finally feeling at ease now that the wedding date was moved up. She was on the brink of shaking free from those two.
But her relief didn''tst long. Simon showed up at her door. He had been tailing ra the night before, and knew she had hung around Moonlight for quite a while. Right after she left Simon''s side, his dad had an incident.
"ra, did you have a hand in what happened to my dad?"
He wasn''t sure why he suspected her, but after the chaos at home that morning, he couldn''t shake the thought of ra from the previous night. He rushed over, desperate for answers.
ra didn''t open the door, her voice calm behind it. "Do you really think I could pull something like that off?"
"ra!"
Simon pounded on the door, trying to catch his breath. Logic told him there was no proof, and if ra were truly involved, his grandfather wouldn''t let her off the hook easily.
This whole mess was a massive hit to the Ferguson family''s reputation. Just an hour ago, his grandfather had been in a rage.
He took a deep breath. "You better hope this isn''t your doing. I knew you were ruthless before, and it never concerned me, but you shouldn''t have messed with my family."
ra ignored him, nning to head back to her room for a nap. It was the weekend, and she didn''t have to be anywhere.
Simon suddenly blurted out, "Was it Dn who picked you up from my ce that day?"
He felt a knot in his stomach, feeling restless after seeing how ra acted around Dn.
