So He overheard the conversation between Galilea and the kidnappers.
Tyrone understood everything in an instant.
Connor had captured incriminating photos of the kidnappers. He also unveiled the truth behind this seemingly grave abduction, a conspiracy involving the hostage and the captors. The mastermind behind it all was none other than Galilea herself.
Tyrone seethed with anger at the extent of the deception and betrayal. The supposed kidnapping was just a game played by Galilea, displaying no regard for the significant waste of police resources. Worse still, no suspects have been apprehended.
It all made sense.
Galilea and her cohorts found Connor.
Galileas fear mounted after discovering Connor was a journalist. She shuddered at the possibility of Connor exposing her deceitful game.
The fallout from such news would shatter Galileas reputation and lead to legal repercussions.
That being the case, she couldnt deny the fact that she had leaked the data. Consequently, she stood to Lose everything.
Larry wouldnt protect her, and the Blakely family wouldnt accept a granddaughter-in-law associated with negative news.
After all she had done, failing was not an option!
To conceal one falsehood, Galilea needed a cascade of further deceit. Terrified that Connor might involve the police, Galilea rushed to negotiate with him privately.

Connor, an honest and righteous man, firmly declined her offer.
Less than forty-eight hours after their negotiation, Connor met a tragic end in a car accident, succumbing to his injuries in the hospital.
In fact, Galileas initial scheme had been to fabricate an assault perpetrated by Connor during their interview.
Given she was the victim, the majority of individuals readily would have lent credence to her account. That way, Connor would find himself branded as a rapist, rendering his words utterly non-credible and perhaps even suggestive of a nefarious plot on his part.
Tyrones anger found an outlet in a forceful punch to the wall, his visage contorted with fury. Through clenched teeth, he inquired, What then prompted her eventual change of heart?
In bygone times, he had carried a heavy burden of guilt on Galileas behalf due to the kidnapping, shying away from entertaining any suspicions about her.
Even when peculiar events unfolded subsequently, he construed them as mere innocuous machinations on Galileas part.
Only now, beneath her veneer, did Tyrone discern the malevolence that lay within Galilea!
It dawned on him that her intentions were far from harmless.
Her cruelty knew no bounds!
