“Alright, I’ll continue.”
“Please don’t! No!”
Valery’s anxiety grew, and she blurted out her confession, fear weighing heavy upon her words.
“He wanted to remarry Hannah, but Hannah didn’t like him, so he asked me to find a way.”
“I know that…” Valery trembled as she continued, “this way was wrong. But he wanted me to figure it out first, and I did question him about it. He offered me money and I agreed to this plan.”
Brayden twirled the golf club in his hand, his gaze locked onto Valery.
“Don’t you know it’s illegal to drug someone? I can send you to prison at any time, you know. I could make a call and you can tell your little story to a police officer.”
Challenged with the prospect of the police, Valery grew even more frantic.
“I just helped him get the drugs; I didn’t do anything else.
You can arrest him!”
Brayden’s response was unyielding.
“We have records of your transactions, as well as evidence of your bribe to the waiter yesterday. Declan won’t escape punishment, and neither will you.”
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed in the distance as the confrontation between the two continued.
Keith’s frustration got the best of him, and he smashed the table beside him with his fist.
As he learned of Valery’s role in the plot against Hannah, his anger intensified.
Trent, though visibly uncomfortable, reached out to his brother, trying to calm the latter.
“Keith,” he said, laying a hand on his brother.
Bryson, seemingly unaffected, reclined in his seat with an air of fascination, intently watching the Comptons.
Keith could take no more and took a few determined steps forward, wresting the golf club from Brayden’s grip.
“Let me handle this!”

Brayden was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. His gaze shifted to Bryson, but when Bryson remained unresponsive, he made no move to stop Keith.
“Please! Don’t do this!” Valery implored, her voice thick with fear as Keith approached.
Unperturbed, Keith continued, a sardonic smile playing on his lips, “This is the private Compton family manor. If anything happens to you, we can compensate the Moore family for their losses.”
He said this lightly, as if discussing breaking a vase and not Valery’s very life.
