Alright, then Horace, youve seen Brady grow up. You know his character. Without someone pushing his buttons, he wouldnt stoop to this.
Derek confirmed that the last time Miss Chavez visited Violetholt, Brady was openly hostile. I checked the surveillance footage and discovered that Brady coincidentally met Miss Rivera just before the incident. They were together this time too.
Im curious why Miss Rivera singled out Sabrina. Turns out, not too long ago, she was caught stealing Sabrinas photography work, and she even issued a public apology online. Maybe theres some lingering resentment there.
Horace, I shouldnt have said this. But Sierras not really part of the Fowler clan. Keeping her in the Fowler family will only spell trouble sooner or later.

We go way back, Horace. Remember when our fathers were alive, and my dad took me to the Fowler family, and I had to go back home without a stitch of clothing? My mom still teases me about that.
Anyway, it warms my heart to see Brady and Blayze growing up together Horace, you know how much my brother and sister-in-law adore Brady. Lets not let an outsider like Sierra ruin the bond weve had for generations.
Fulton emphasized the long-standing friendship between the two families, subtly suggesting to Horace that handing over Sierra would be in their best interest. The unspoken threat lingered: if Brady ended up behind bars, the harmony between the two families would unravel into discord.
Horace proposed a measured solution.
Ive always treated Brady Like family. I dont want him in jail. How about this? Ill bring Sierra out and get her side of the story. If it turns out shes involved, I wont shield her.
I know youre a fair man, Fulton acknowledged, trusting Horaces judgment.
Horace instructed a housekeeper to summon Sierra.
In under two minutes, the housekeeper returned with a cautious response, Sir, Miss Rivera isnt home.
Horace, taken aback, questioned, Wasnt she just here minutes ago?
The housekeeper explained, Mrs. Fowler mentioned that Miss Rivera wanted to explore another city, so she left immediately after grabbing a few things.
Hearing this, Fulton shot a pointed look at Horace.
The idea that Sierra had left to evade trouble in the midst of a tense situation was too convenient to believe. Only a fool would buy such words.
Due to Sierras hasty departure, Horace sensed a connection.

Noting Fultons perceptive expression, Horace retorted, Go inquire with Mrs. Fowler about Sierras whereabouts.
The housekeeper reported, She claims not to know.
Oh, really? Horace smirked mysteriously, then called the housekeeper again, saying, Im certain Sierra hasnt gotten far.
Send someone to track her down.
Yes, sir! the housekeeper acknowledged before he could exit.
However, a coquettish voice interrupted from upstairs, Wait!
Rita descended the staircase slowly, fixing her gaze on Fulton.
