Chapter 397 A Night of Passion

Cecelia embraced Remington with both hands and raised a smile, “You can have whatever you want.” “Remember what you said…” Remington then started kissing her dominantly yet gently. Tonight was their world. After days of abstinence, Remington could finally indulge himself in passion. The two of them passionately enjoyed each other’s company all night long, but Chris and his family were sleepless for the night. Daniel Martinaz, the private lawyer of the Songo family, rushed to the police station to try and bail out Warda. Unfortunately, Warda was involved in two cases now, and the police refused bail. Daniel Martinaz met Chris and explained the situation to him. Chris, who was aware of the details, was infuriated and pounded his chest in frustration. “This stupid brat! How could he make the same mistake twice?” Last year, after having a few drinks, Warda took his wicked idea on Zoila Flores’ beautiful daughter, Rosa Flores. And he raped Rosa in the Songo Mansion. He was caught red-handed by his wife, Mariah, and it caused quite a scene at the time. Warda insisted that he was seduced by Rosa. Then he and the Songo family coerced and tempted Zoila and Rosa and paid a hush money of $10,000 to silence them. But who would have thought that a year later, this wastrel would rape Rosa for the second time? “Mr. Songo, the situation is not favorable for Mr. Songo. The incident at the hotel was captured on camera, and the police have obtained crucial evidence from Rosa Flores.” Daniel explained the implications of this case to Chris. Chris paced back and forth and said at last, “See if we can use our connections. In any case, I cannot let my son go to jail!” “But now the problem is that the news has spread widely. This news is known to everyone now. It will be difficult to convince the public if the police don’t act fair in this case.”

“Then let’s use public relations to eliminate all negative voices!” After Chris made the decision, he immediately had the company’s public relations team collaborate with an external PR agency to handle the situation. However, during the process, the PR team discovered something peculiar. Every time they deleted a negative report, ten more would appear online. If they deleted two, twenty more would emerge. This led to a situation where the more they deleted, the more negative reports surfaced, as if they had triggered some sort of chain reaction. At last, the PR team became hesitant to take any more action. Chris couldn’t sleep that night, and when he heard the news from the PR team, he was furious and overturned a table. “How could this happen? Are those media outlets not giving us, the Songo family, any respect? Send them all lawyer’s letters! Warn them!” So, the Songo Group, on behalf of the company, immediately issued a lawyer’s letter overnight, warning those news media outlets that were spreading false reports on Warda Songo. Unfortunately, this approach had little effect. By the next morning, the situation had spiraled out of control. And the hashtag about Warda’s rape had skyrocketed to the top of trending topics. An interview video clip of Rosa, who had used a pseudonym in the interview, was released on the internet. In the interview, she tearfully recounted her experience and called for the law to punish this monster as he deserved. And she begged for justice from the public. This tear-inducing interview garnered sympathy and attention from the public, with netizens expressing their support for her and condemning Warda. Was it permissible to do whatever he wanted just because he had money and connections? And the Songo Group’s methods trying to get Warda out of this scandal, like releasing a public statement overnight to attempt to suppress the scandal and using their connections to try to get Warda released, were revealed to the public, which further fueled public anger and backlash. … At the Songo Mansion, in the dining room, a few many family members came for breakfast.

Alfred glanced at the empty seats and asked Johnson Black, “Johnson, where is everyone today?” “Sir, Madam Anisa is having breakfast in her room. Chris and his family haven’t shown up either. But I saw him leave early this morning.” “Hmm…” Alfred frowned unhappily and stood up, saying, “Take breakfast to Madam Anisa’s room. I’ll go have breakfast with her.” “Alright!” Alfred walked out and saw Fiona coming back from outside. Fiona greeted her father as soon as she saw him, “Dad, you’re awake! Have you had breakfast?” “Not yet. Why are you here?” “I came to see you and to tell you something you probably don’t know. Warda got into trouble!” “What? What happened to Warda?” Alfred felt a bit uneasy. No one from Chris’ family showed up in the dining room till now, and Chris had left early in the morning. Could it be because Warda got into some kind of trouble outside? “Oh, it’s just Warda’s old problem acting up again. He raped a girl last night, and the girl reported him to the police. The police arrested him, and he hasn’t been released till now.” Fiona, upon hearing the news, came specifically to make trouble for Chris and his family. And she just wanted to see this joke personally. After hearing this news, Alfred was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. “That bastard! How could he do such a despicable thing again! Ugh, it’s infuriating!” “Dad. Please calm down. Don’t get angry. It’s not good for your health.” Fiona helped Alfred inside to take a rest. Alfred was really angry about the news and asked, “What’s the situation now?” “The police are still investigating!” The police were intensifying their investigation. They were reviewing the hotel’s surveillance footage to confirm Warda’s presence that night. As for Warda’s claim that his cousin Cecelia opened the door for him, the police didn’t find any evidence to prove his statement in the surveillance footage.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The police also summoned Cecelia, and she went to the police station in the morning to assist with the investigation. When the police asked if she and Warda had planned to meet at a hotel, Cecelia admitted, “Yes, my cousin Warda did invite me to the hotel to discuss the business of Songo Dyehouse, but he never showed up. I found out about his situation from the news later.” The police asked again, “Warda claims that you arranged everything just to set him up. What do you think of this?” Cecelia found it amusing and said, “How could I have arranged everything? He committed rape, and there’s no way I could have encouraged him to do that! “I actually suspect that he used the excuse of meeting me to deceive some other girl. “Officers, I hope you will thoroughly investigate this case and not let the criminal go unpunished! “Even if the suspect is my relative, I won’t plead for him. Please follow the rules! I believe in the fairness of the law!” The police didn’t get much from Cecelia and let her go. Warda’s scandal had a significant negative impact on the Songo Group, and their stock began falling. In order to stabilize the company’s situation, Chris had to come up with a cunning plan. He arranged for people to go to the Flores Farm in an attempt to persuade Zoila and Rosa to change their testimony. If Rosa Flores admitted that it was her seducing his son, then his son’s rape charges could be cleared. Chris believed this was the best course of action, so he entrusted Daniel to go to Flores Farm to ensure things go smoothly. At the same time, Queenie, representing her mother and sister-in-law, arrived at the police detention room to visit Warda. “Warda, what’s going on?” Queenie questioned him. Warda grabbed Queenie’s hand and exclaimed, “Queenie, I’ve been framed. Cecelia set me up. Please go find her and get her to spare me! She’s the one who plotted against me!” “Cecelia Linsey! It’s her again!” Queenie became extremely angry upon hearing this. She believed her brother and reassured him, “Warda, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it! I’ll go confront her right away!”
