Chapter 75

She saw Brett and me. "When's Mr. Jordan coming back?"

I shook my head and walked over to whisper, "From now on, only use a specific set of dishes and utensils for Brandon. Don't let him touch anything else."

Holly looked surprised but quickly nodded.

After Brett and I finished eating, Holly took him to play.

I got the latest audio file from Simon, probably recorded after I left.

I went to my room and played it. Renee's voice came through: "Think about who could have given you the poison and cut ties with her immediately."

Brandon sounded worn out. "There's no one. I've only been around familiar people lately."

Renee scoffed. "Then one of your familiar people is the problem. See if she's still useful to you, and then get rid of her..."

Her words, though ordinary, sounded eerie and sinister when spoken by Renee, sending a shiver down my spine even in the bathroom.

Simon called me shortly after. "Did you listen to it?"

I nodded. "Renee seems complicated. Even Brandon listens to her."

Simon agreed. "Exactly. I noticed that too."

"Ever since Renee showed up, everyone in the Jordan family has been following her lead. There's definitely more to uncover about her."

I nodded, feeling uneasy about confronting a crazy woman like Renee. She seemed capable of anything.

"By the way, there's something else I need to remind you about. The butler around your mom..."

I nodded. "Go on!"

"He's quite close to Elora. I've seen them having meals together several times, though nothing inappropriate. I suspect they might be related."

Hearing this made my hair stand on end. "Brandon planted Elora's person next to my mom?"

"Yes, but you'll need to check it out yourself for more details. I don't have all the specifics."

I nodded. For Kelly's safety, I had to investigate.

After hanging up, I recalled Elora's face. Since she dared to mess with Kelly, whether willingly or not, she had to be dealt with.

I called Kathy first. "Kathy, it's time to let Beatrice know about Elora. Our plan needs to start."

Kathy understood immediately and got to work.

Next, I called Paula. "Do you remember the photos I sent you of Elora with other men at the hotel?"

Paula responded quickly. "Yeah, I remember. What's up?"

"Use them to provoke Shirley, make her act irrationally. You know how to handle this better than I do."

Paula caught on quickly. "Got it."

Before hanging up, she added, "By the way, Mrs. Jordan, there's something else."

"Today, Brandon sent someone to our apartment to take a blood sample from both Shirley and me."

It seemed they were already searching for the source.

"Don't worry. Brandon has an STD and is looking for the source. It shouldn't concern you two. Just cooperate."

Paula sounded hesitant. "But I..."

"Relax. If something happens, the Jordan family will come for you first, not me."

"But I suggest you get checked at the hospital, just to be safe."

Paula hung up, and I took a deep breath. Everything was set in motion. Now, I just had to wait for things to unfold.

Soon, the first part of my plan took effect.

I woke up to several videos from Kathy, all centered around a confrontation.

In the videos, Beatrice blocked a luxury car at a restaurant entrance, shouting at the person inside.

"You shameless bitch! Who dares to seduce my husband behind my back? Get out here!"

The next video showed Beatrice dragging Elora out of the car and pinning her to the ground.

Beatrice, having lived a life of luxury, had a fuller figure compared to Elora, who maintained her physique to attract men.

Elora couldn't fight back for long and was soon overpowered by Beatrice.

"You bitch! How dare you seduce my husband!"

Elora wailed on the ground, crying for help.

Beatrice, unrelenting, yanked her hair and cursed. "Tell me, when did this start?"

"Confess, or I'll beat you to death."

Elora could only cry out in pain, unable to say anything.

I realized that while Elora wasn't innocent, the other culprit, Kurt, was nowhere to be seen.

I opened the next video and saw that Kurt's luxury car was already gone.

He ran away?

I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity. Kurt really couldn't control himself. Maybe he should just get it cut off.

Kathy called me, her face full of excitement. "Did you see it?"

I nodded. "Did you record the video yourself?"

Kathy shook her head, smiling. "I asked a friend to do it. I told them to capture everything. Wasn't it thrilling?"

I nodded, impressed. "Very professional. Well done."

Kathy grinned. "Keep watching. There's more to come."

Her words piqued my curiosity. I clicked on the next video and saw that Beatrice had stripped Elora's clothes at some point.

She slapped her, pulling her hair. "You seduce my husband, and now you'll be exposed for everyone to see!"

Elora covered her face, looking for a place to hide.

But Beatrice, stronger, quickly pulled her hands away.

"Don't cover your face. Let everyone see you."

Elora was completely exposed online.

Soon, the police arrived and stopped Beatrice.

Elora, covering her face, lay on the ground, not moving for a long time.

Only after a female officer gave her a coat did she slowly get up and get into the police car.

The video ended, and I forwarded it to Simon. "Have you seen this video?"

Simon quickly replied. "No, when did this happen?"

If even Simon, with his extensive network, hadn't seen it, it meant the video was still circulating in a limited circle. I needed to make it go viral!
