Paisley did not know anything about what had happened to Hardy. When she received the call, she was still sleeping soundly under her blanket.
Hearing that he was in the police station, she immediately woke up and called Bevan.
However, Bevan’s phone was confiscated, so he could not be reached.
She had no choice but to call the Acma Corporation’s lawyer and asked him to go to the police station immediately.
She arrived one step ahead of him. When she saw Hardy, who was red with embarrassment and fury, she took a step back in fright.
“Brother? Why are you so in a mess?”
After being brought to the police station, Hardy had lost all of his dignity. Seeing his sister, he asked eagerly, “Where is Bevan? Where the hell did he go? Why didn’t he come with you?”
“I couldn’t reach him through his phone, and I don’t know where he is.”
Hearing her explanation, he was sure that something had happened to him, so he said in a hoarse voice, “Call the lawyer immediately!”
“The lawyer has been informed and will be here soon,” she replied. Seeing her handsome brother become like this, she was at a loss for words, “What the hell happened?”
“I was framed! William must be the one behind this!”
“William? Why?” She asked.
“Why else? He wants revenge!” He gritted his teeth.
“Um…” She found it hard to imagine, “He already lost his memories and was fooled around by Natasya. How could he plot against you?”
“Who else could it be if not him? I’ve never offended anyone else!” He said fiercely.
“I don’t believe that William’s behind this, it must be someone else!” As she spoke, her phone rang and a cold voice came through, “Are you Paisley?”
“Yes, I am. Who are you?”
“This is Western City Police Station. A man named Bevan was caught for committing a crime. He gave us several phone numbers, but only yours went through, who are you to him?”
She was shocked and immediately asked, “Bevan was caught? For what?”
“He’s suspected of kidnapping someone and hurting them on purpose.”
“Are you sure you’re not mistaken? He is my brother’s assistant, so it’s impossible for him to kidnap and hurt others,” she defended him.
“Ms. Anthony, we have evidence. When we arrested him last night, he was about to hurt Miss Anderson, who was unconscious. I have to remind you that kidnapping is a felony. When you come, you’d better hire a good lawyer for him.”
They hung up the phone after they were done speaking, and she looked at Hardy with shock. “Bro, Bevan was arrested and suspected of kidnapping. The person who called me said that he had hurt Miss Anderson, who is that? What’s going on?”
“Talitha! D*mn it! This stupid b*stard, she can’t even handle such a small thing!” He scolded Bevan indignantly. When his lawyer came, his face was full of anxiety without caring about the state Hardy was in.
“Mr. Anthony, I went to negotiate with them, but they refused to let me bail you out. I asked some familiar people, and they said that the higher-ups have given this order.”
“Higher-ups? Who? William?” He asked exasperatedly.
“No, it seems to be Devon,” the lawyer answered.
“Devon?” He was stunned, “I can’t believe he was the one behind this! How could I suspect the wrong person? So the person who framed me is that b*tch Talitha and not William?”
“Talitha framed you? Brother, what should we do now?” Paisley’s face changed.
“F*ck, I underestimated that b*tch!” He cursed angrily. If Talitha and Devon had plotted against him, then they must want him to take responsibility over Talitha.
If he did not take responsibility for her, they would definitely not let him go, but it was too disgusting for him to do so.
What should he do?
As he thought about it, Paisley glanced at her mobile phone and saw the news. Her face changed, “Brother, look!”
He grabbed her phone and scanned through the article quickly. He had a sour expression as he gnashed his teeth and cursed, “D*mn it, they forcing me into a dead end!”
“Brother, you should take responsibility for Talitha before the public figures out your identity! It would be terrible if they found out.”
“Since it has come to this already, I’m still going to stand my ground to never take responsibility for her! The worst thing that can happen is that my reputation will be ruined even more, but that doesn’t matter to me anymore!”
“You should think about it clearly, this is not a simple situation… You should comfort her first to deal with it,” she persuaded him.
“Comforting her won’t solve anything,” he looked at her with bloodshot eyes, “If Devon was behind this, comforting Talitha won’t be enough. He would definitely ask me to officially marry her! The least would be to officially announce our relationship to the public. Do you think I would do something like that? If I married someone disgusting like her, I wouldn’t be able to face anyone in the future!”
“But you’ll be finished if they announce the relationship for you!”
“Am I not finished yet? I won’t take responsibility for her! You can’t force me, I’d rather ruin my reputation than comply with them!” Hardy was determined.
Since Hardy was unwilling to compromise and would rather ruin his reputation, Marcus reported it to William. He clapped his hands lightly and said, “Wow! I totally didn’t expect him to be so stubborn, I can’t believe he’s unwilling to back down even when it has come to this point! The fact that he chose to ruin his reputation shows how much he hates Talitha, it looks like I have to go with Plan B.”
“What’s Plan B?” Valeria asked.
He said with an evil smile, “Send the video we filmed last night to Paisley. If Hardy still doesn’t give in after that, I’ll admire him for being a man!”
“What video? Let me see,” Valeria asked curiously.
William replied seriously, “You can’t watch it! You’ll ruin your eyes!”
She pursed her lips and asked, “Then why can you watch it?”
“Who said I’ve watched it? Be a good girl, this is filmed for Hardy, so he’ll be the only one to watch it. Let’s not associate ourselves with something so disgusting.”
Since William gave the orders to go ahead with Plan B, Marcus was quick to take action. Soon after, the videos of the old women messing with Hardy were sent to Paisley’s phone.
Paisley clicked on it and looked at it for a few seconds, then screamed, “Hardy! What is this?”
He took the phone and looked at it. When he saw the video of his exposed body being beaten by several old women with whips, he literally vomited a mouthful of blood in anger.
