Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Sherry cackled to herself at the uproar that she had just caused. If this loopt going, she might just become one of the internet’s biggest stars.

Wouldn’t she he swimming in money then?

Wilbur left the hospital and drove home, only to see Elsa and Faron were also there talking to Faye in the living room.

“What are you guys doing here?” Wilbur asked.

Faron smiled. “We’re all worried for you, bro. I heard things are getting worse and worse.”

“It can’t be that bad. You’re worrying for nothing.”

Wilbur sat down, and Faye handed him a cup of tea. “How did the talk go?”

“The kid’s out of her mind. She insisted she’d done nothing wrong, and said I was threatening her,” Wilbur said.

Faye sighed. “I knew that was going to happen. Kids these days don’t think about the consequences of their actions.”

Just then, Elsa said, “Don’t worry. We’ve pa**ed the damaged camera to the IT department, and they’re working on restoring the footage in the memory card. I’m sure the footage should be available in no time, and the rumors will be put to rest.”

Wilbur nudded. The best thing that could happen now was the footage being restored.

“Also, the authorities are going to head to the hospital tomorrow to interrogate Sherry. If she ends up taking full responsibility, the hate might die down a 11le too, Elsa said.

Wilbur frowned. “What if she still insists that I’m in the wrong and claim that she’s being threatened?”

“Don’t worry about that. On–site has checked out the scene, and it’s pretty much been proven that Sherry’s lying. It’s only because she’s still hospitalized that the authorities can’t get a statement from her. Even if she refuses to admit she’s lying, she won’t be able to argue against the evidence,” Elsa said.

Wilbur nodded. “That’s good, I guess. We’ll just wait a few days for the truth to come out”

Just then, Faye said, “Wilbur, I just got news that the netizens know you live in Castlebury now. I’m worried some of them. might hara** us”

Wilbur frowned at the words.

He did not really mind, but Faye was a woman and the CEO of Cape International. Nothing good could come out of this.

Faron said, “Sherry Divos has really gone too far! Hro, should I get someone to teach her a lesson?

“Come on, she’s a lod. Don’t scare her like that!” Wilbur said.

Faron chuckled. “She’s clearly in the wrong here, mind you.”

Wilbur responded darkly. “Forget it. I’ve been wanting to move to Sealale Island for a while, anyway. It’s nicer, and much better for several people to live there. Shall we move tonight?”

“Tonight?‘ Faye asked.

Wilbur nodded. “It’s quieter there. We’ll have better peace of mind.”

“Sure! I’d like to live there too. I’m sure it’ll be nirer there,” Faye said with a smile.

They got to work at once, packing a few suitcases, and headed for Sealake Island

Faye called for someone in the company to move everything else in the house over to the island the next day.

Around ten o’clock at night, the four of them arrived at Sealake Island. They lit up at the sight of room number one

The view from the unit was breathtaking, and it was no less comfortable than any five–star hotel.

“F*cking hell, it sure is nice here. Can I get a room here too, bro?” Faron could not help but exclaim.

Wilbur chuckled. “Take your pick. We’ve got plenty of rooms here, anyways,”

“I want one too,” Elsa piped up.

“Sure, go ahead,” Wilbur said.

Yet Faron’s expression darkened at once. “What right do you have to live here?”

“Why can’t I? Elsa shot right back.

Faron sneered. “You’re an officer. It’s not right for you to live here.

“Are you looking to get beaten up? I’ll rip you a new one right now! Elsa retallated.
