“What are you waiting for?” she snapped at them.
“Pull those two apart!”
“Yes, Miss!”
They sprang into action and pulled Johanna and Christy off each other.
Christy’s makeup was ruined, and her clothes were in a complete mess.
Nail marks ran down both of her arms, but she had somehow kept a tight grip on the USB drive.
Johanna didn’t fare much better. Her hair and clothes were disheveled, too, but the red handprint on her cheek was more prominent than the one on Christy’s.
As luck would have it, Bainbridge had also just arrived. He stopped in his tracks as he took in the scene before him.
“What the hell is going on here?”
Johanna wasted no time and rushed over to Bainbridge.
“Bainbridge!
This woman just stormed into the villa and hit me! She demanded that I take the blame for Grandpa’s messed-up medication, and beat me up when I refused!”
Bainbridge eyed her wounds and scowled at Christy.
“Grandpa drove you out of this place, didn’t he? How dare you set your foot back in here?”
Christy didn’t bother to answer them. She smoothed her hair and turned to Jalen.
“I have proof that she told me to replace Byrum’s medicine.” Then she produced a pen recorder from her pocket.

“I recorded our exchange from start to end. Would you like me to play it for everyone to hear?”
Johanna was not expecting this at all. Before she knew it, she was poised to pounce on Christy again.
“You bitch! How dare you set me up?!”
“Right back at you!” Christy put the recorder back into her pocket and snarled at Johanna.
“You’re the one who set me up first! If anything, I am only serving you the retribution you deserve! Now, if you don’t want to make things clear and apologize to Byrum, then I don’t mind calling the police!”
“Don’t!” Bainbridge interjected almost immediately.
“Don’t you think our family’s current situation is messy enough as it is?”
“Hal” Christy crossed her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes.
