The reporters turned around to see who he was referring to. Even the reporters were surprised to see her, does she have something to say? That was the question going through their heads at the moment.
Ivy approached the reporters, her eyes fixed on Jake. “I have something to say,” she announced, her voice clear and confident.
The reporters turned to her, intrigued. “What is it, Mrs. Anderson?” one of them asked.
Ivy smiled sweetly. “I just want to clarify some things about Jake Black’s character.”
Jake’s eyes narrowed, his face tensing.
Ivy began, “He’s been spreading false rumors about my friend Anna, and I think it’s time someone exposed the truth about him.”
The reporters’ eyes widened, sensing a scoop. “What truth?” one of them pressed.
Ivy smiled, glancing at Jake. “Let’s just say that Jake’s interests lie elsewhere. He’s not the straight-laced guy he pretends to be.”
Jake’s face turned red with anger, but Ivy continued, her voice steady. “I have evidence, if you’d like to see it.”
The reporters leaned in, eager for the juicy detail. Ivy then showed them the photos. The reporters’ eyes scanned the images, their faces shocked and intrigued.
Just then, a police car pulled up and police officers stepped out. The reporters, upon seeing them began to anticipate the reason for the police appearance.
The officers had blank expressions as they walked over to Jake.
“Mr Black, we will need to take you in for questioning. We have evidence that suggests you might be involved in sexual assault on a minor. ”
That was a bombshell in the atmosphere, but as for Jake, it was a lightning strike. His heart raced, but still, he stoutly held his head high in defiance.
“I’m not definitely not involved in such heinous crime, officers you must be mistake…..”
The officer cut him off. “I’ll advise you cooperate… you have the right to have an attorney present during questioning.”
That was the last countdown; the reporters turned frenzy with what he heard; the question changed.
“Jake Black, is it true you are involved in pedophilia?”
“Did you really sexually assault a minor?”
The reporters spat out with aggression in their voice.
Jake’s mouth quivered, his eyes froze in shock. But he had no choice but to give in.
They all watched Jake been taken away by the police, including whoever tuned into the live broadcast.
Anna stared at the commotion in disbelief. The man that was threatening her not long ago was being taken away for questioning. ‘Sexual assault on a minor’. She had known him for a year now; being gay was not as shocking as this…
Ivy’s aim for showing up was accomplished, so she and Anna sneakily left the reporters before they started bombarding them with questions. Susan also followed behind, she still had questions of her own. While they walked into the studio, Ivy felt the sense of freedom from Anna. “You’re free now; I promise he won’t bother you again.”
Anna was welling up inside; finally, the jerk would be too busy with his own problems and won’t have time to spread false rumors about her.
“You investigated him because of me?” Her eyes sparkled with gratitude.
“Well, not entirely true, it was more like killing two birds with one stone.” Though when Jake bragged with his family name, she felt the urge to deal with him even more as he was Anna’s despicable fiance. She went on narrating what happened last night on how Jake treated her in the restroom.
“Thank you, Ivy, now he’s off my chest.” Anna was all smiles; she was damn tired of him using his influence to torment her.
“You are quite vindictive, Ivy, but I like it,” Susan chimed in. She had been longing to know what she was up to, but what she did blew her mind. “Did you know beforehand about his pedophilia?”
FLASHBACK
When Edmond received his madam’s order, he immediately swung to action. He tailed Jake all the way to a bar. At first, he couldn’t find anything unusual; Jake was just dancing around with a bunch of curvaceous females. He would have been mistaken as a womanizer; he would cup their breasts, play with their thighs, and all that… But he never kissed any of them apart from touching and spanking their ample butts. Then Edmond caught a glimpse of a young man whispering in his ear. After that, they both left the dance floor upstairs; he followed behind them. When they got to a quiet spot void of people, that was when he found out he was gay. He took some pictures and went back to the car.
He didn’t immediately leave the premises; he waited a few minutes, then saw Jake leaving the club and he continued tailing him.
When they got to a small neighborhood, Jake got out of his car and entered into an apartment; this made Edmond more curious. What could he be doing in the projects…
He stealthily hid beside the door; a few minutes later, he heard soft moans, then followed by…
“Please, don’t touch me….”
It was a delicate voice.
He impulsively busted the door open, but Jake already fled when he felt the door vibrate.
He must have thought whoever came in didn’t see his face, so he wouldn’t be suspected.
But he was so wrong…
