Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband Chapter 341: As Many Times As Needed

Doubling down, Sadie explained, "I always thought it was strange, because even when I used to work for that jackass, Luther, he always protected our image from scandals. He was a piece of shit, no doubt, but he knew how to keep his business afloat." she started off.

"What are you getting at here?" Lucas demanded.

She took a deep breath, "When I got pregnant, I was ready for this to blow up, I was even prepared to give up the role to Brooke. But, not one article was published, not a single one. And yet, more and more articles of Brooke’s scandals kept surfacing." she pointed out.

He sighed, "Darling, that’s just because she’s a trouble magnet," he rested a hand on her shoulder, "That woman was more than I could handle-"

She slapped his hand away, "I worked with a production house before, I know how these things work. You never called for a press conference to address the issue, you didn’t drafted a statent to protect her, you did nothing." she sent him a sharp glare, "Can you swear to that those awful articles didn’t land on your desk before hitting the internet?" she asked, in a sowhat pleading tone.

He smiled, "Of course not, I was just as shocked as the next person when the news hit the internet." he leaned in and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Is that what you had been worrying over?" he laughed, wrapping an arm around her waist. "I understand you’re concerned about her, but you can’t let that cause you and the baby more stress. Besides, even now, she’s still getting drowned in scandals." He reasoned.

Sadie sighed, "I really did think that you would tell the truth, but it seems you couldn’t be true to yourself even with ." she broke out of the hug and reached for her phone.

"What’s wrong-" he was asking, but she cut him off with photos, screenshots of what looked like chats, chats from his phone.

She read one out, "Money is not the problem, just make sure your platform keeps Brooke’s news trending-"

He reached for her phone, "Sadie-"

She dodged his grab and went on, reading another chat, "Hi, I am Lucas of pocket-change productions, would you be interested in a scandal about Brooke-"

He raised his voice, "Sadie!"

She continued, "I have exclusive pictures, I can even tip you her schedule and whereabouts-" she was saying, but he yanked the phone out of her hands, a scowl on his face.

"You went through my phone?" he barked at her.

She scoffed, "Is that the issue here? You were selling her out just to cover up my pregnancy! It all makes so much sense why the rumors about her spread so fast. You were the one sponsoring them."

He started deleting the photos, Sadie reached for her phone, but he ignored her and continued erasing the evidence. "Who else did you show this to?"

"Lucas, I can’t believe you! You swore you weren’t selling her out, aren’t you ashad-"

He cut her off, "If you’re asking if I regret prioritizing you, then my answer is still the sa. I would do it again, as many tis as I need to. You are the mother of my child and the face of my production house, and I hope you can rember that." his eyes darkened.

Sadie’s lips furled into a frown, "I don’t want to work for soone who puts down others for mu success, it’s the sa thing Luther was doing for Cassie. I want no part-" he cut her off.

"The sa thing?" he scoffed in disbelief, "Did you forget that I was the one who granted you the opportunity to shine? I was the one who dealt with your brother and got him placed in prison. If I didn’t that gold digger would still be causing problems for us."

She bit her cheeks. He was right. With his help, she had achieved so much, herself from a year ago would have done what he wanted no questions asked.

However, things were different now. Brooke, and her lover had done so much to help her, she just could not bring herself to betray her kindness like this.

"Lucas, I love you, I really do, but not like this. I want to be an actress, but I don’t want to end up becoming soone like Cassie." She reached for his hand and placed it on her stomach,. "You are a good person, don’t do anything that would make our child ashad to be yours." she said, placing a lid on the conversation.

However, she did not leave things at that state. The next morning, she padded up in baggy clothes and went to visit her brother in prison. She shared her location the mont she reached the prison, so Lucas wouldn’t be worried about her.

Sighting his familiar warden, she waved over to the middle aged man, drawing his attention. They t each other in the middle, their expressions as contrasting as night and day.

"Sadie? What are you doing here?" The inspector asked, genuinely confused.

She forced a polite smile. "Well, I’m here to see Justin. It’s visiting day today, isn’t it?" she sighed, "Don’t tell he still won’t talk to ?"

She had tried to see her brother a couple of tis since his detention, but he wouldn’t reciprocate the feeling. However, the last ti she ca, they had a chat, and she promised to co again soon.

She also promised to bail him out, money was coming in from the movie, and she had finally secured a place he could stay.

Everything was finally falling into place for them.

However, the warden shattered that dream, when he told her, "Justin is no longer in prison, I thought you already knew this."

Her eyes went round, "I’m sorry, what?"

The warden frowned, "He was bailed out for a while now. I called Lucas and let him know. He said he’d relay the ssage."

Sadie blinked twice, trying to register the news. "Soone bailed my brother out of jail? Who?" Justin as far as she was concerned had no friends, he certainly didn’t have friends with the money to take him out of prison.

So just who was this mystery person, and more importantly, what did they want with her brother?
