Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 347:

Spencer cleared his throat before speaking. “Kaiden and I went to inspect the surveillance footage in the corridor, but it was completely corrupted. All we could discern was a blurry mess.”

Spencer frowned at the corrupted surveillance footage. It was evident that the mastermind behind this incident had meticulously tampered with the surveillance. Realizing the futility of scrutinizing the footage, Bryson clenched his jaw. If Kathy was behind it all, she had outmaneuvered him.

Lost in contemplation, Norah pieced together Spencer’s and Bryson’s remarks, concluding that Bryson had been targeted and likely taken advantage of while he was inebriated.

Spencer shrugged helplessly, adding, “That’s the extent of what I know. If you have any further inquiries, feel free to ask.”

“Could you please send me the surveillance footage from last night at the Glamour Club?” Norah maintained her composure as she spoke. “I need any footage capturing your assistance in sending Bryson upstairs, including wherever you two appeared together starting from the moment you left the chamber.”

“No problem.” Sally flashed an “OK” gesture before sinking deeper into the sofa.noveldrama

Spencer bore a heavy burden of guilt, knowing that he had played a part in perpetuating the rumors surrounding Bryson. The nagging question lingered in his mind. If only he had taken the initiative to inspect the room he reserved for Bryson, could this disastrous turn of events have been prevented?

Kaiden had imbibed until he was rendered unconscious, leaving him with no recollection of the events that transpired the previous night. Overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty, he found himself unable to speak about what had happened.

Anxiety hung in the air, evident in the expressions of all present. They were all aware of Kathy’s machinations against Bryson, yet the outcome had surpassed even their worst fears. Those who had caught wind of the scandal wondered anxiously how the Andrews family would navigate this precarious situation.

Norah calmly withdrew her hand, her expression resolute. “At this point, overthinking serves no purpose. We’ll await the Carter family’s next move.”

Norah’s gaze shifted to Bryson, who was visibly distressed and holding his head. “It’s merely gossip. There’s no need to fear.”

Bryson had weathered his fair share of rumors in the past, but they had always lacked concrete evidence. This time, however, faced with indisputable proof, panic coursed through him like a current.

Darwin nodded in agreement. “Norah speaks wisely. Bryson, I have faith in your ability to navigate this.”

“Bryson, please know you can come to me if you need any help. I’ll do everything in my power,” Susanna added.

Spencer and Kaiden voiced their solidarity, their loyalty unwavering. Except for Joanna, the group rallied around Bryson, offering support and solace amidst the storm of accusations. The warmth and reassurance from his friends and family provided Bryson with a measure of comfort, easing the weight of his burden.

“Thank you, everyone. Get some rest, Joanna. I’m heading home.” With a heavy heart, Bryson bowed his head and swiftly exited the ward. The sharpness of Joanna’s criticism lingered, piercing Bryson’s heart like a knife and leaving him emotionally wounded.

Bryson departed, and soon after, the others in the ward bid farewell to Norah before leaving as well. The ward suddenly quieted down.

Blinking her wide eyes, Susanna remained silent, her thoughts and emotions concealed behind her gaze. Joanna’s tears still streamed down her cheeks. Susanna’s mind raced. What words should she muster to comfort Joanna now? She considered it prudent to remain silent and simply concur with Norah.

“Joanna, remember, Bryson is your brother. Your words have hurt him deeply. There’s a strong possibility that Kathy schemed against Bryson, who is innocent,” Norah said.

Norah’s gaze met Joanna’s tearful eyes, prompting her to soften her tone. “Your words are cutting deep. Take a moment to calm down and reflect. Right now, the choice is yours. Do you wish to continue inflicting pain on Bryson with harsh words or find a constructive way to address the situation with Kathy?”

With a gentle stroke to Joanna’s head, Norah coaxed, “You’re known for your reason and consideration.”

“Surely, you can empathize with Bryson, can’t you?”
