Chapter 483 The Best Moment for Eruption
"What the heck?"
Remington was legit shocked when Winger spilled the beans. Turns out, Venom revealed everything, saying he was just following orders from someone else.
And guess who the puppet master was? Stanley Wade.
Now, thinking about Stanley Wade, Jimmy's supposed buddy since way back, Remington started connecting the dots. Was it all Wade's scheming since the first time they bumped into Cecelia at the restaurant?
From the get-go, when Wade showed up on the scene during Jimmy's movie premiere, things went south. Was Stanley Wade the mastermind behind all the mess?
Was his goal to screw Jimmy over?
But, on the surface, he played it cool. After Jimmy's meltdown, he was all hands on deck, seemingly supportive.
Surely, judging books by their covers is a bad call. Now, thinking about the connections, sent shivers down Remington's spine.
After pacing around for a bit, Remington spun around and asked, "Did Stanley Wade show up last night when Jimmy was playing Mr. Generous with everyone?"
"Yeah, it looks that way," Winger nodded.
Remington just remembered Stanley Wade at the shindig. The dude was hanging out like everyone else, enjoying the night.
But did he see Jimmy spilling his guts to Cecelia on one knee? And could he be using that as ammo?
Putting two and two together, Remington laid down the command, "Don't make a scene about this just yet. Keep tabs on Stanley Wade on the down-low! Get the dirt before we make a move!"
"Got it!"
"And keep an eye on the internet, stop any rumors about Jimmy and Cecelia from getting out."
Remington could see it coming if the scenes from last night got out, all the hard work Cecelia put in for Jimmy would go down the drain.
The public outrage alone could sink them both.
"Understood!"
After Winger took off, Remington thought for a second, then grabbed his phone to give Jimmy a ring.
Jimmy picked up in a flash, "Hey, Boss!"
"What's going on?"
"I'm thinking of hitting the racetrack! Wanna come along?"
"Who you going with?"
"Stanley and I, we planned it out! It's been ages since I revved up, and today seems perfect. You up for it?"
Remington's face tensed up when he heard this. He hadn't forgotten the consequences of someone messing with his car during a race, resulting in a brutal coma and a bunch of fractures. He could have been dead.
Now, knowing Stanley Wade's game, Remington wasn't about to let anyone mess with his brother.
He quickly shot back, "I'm in! Hold off on the race till I get there. It's been too long since I warmed up too!"
"Sure thing, Boss! We'll wait for you!"
After locking in the plan on the phone, Remington hung up and strode out of his office with a serious vibe.

In a swanky apartment.
Stanley Wade, looking sharp, was cuffing his shirt.
After last night's gathering, he hooked up with Petunia Taylor, and the two had a steamy night.
Getting up early, as Petunia groggily woke up, she turned to him and asked, "Leaving already?"
"I've got something big today! Planned a race day with Jimmy!"
A cold, scheming smile flashed across Stanley's polished face.
Thinking about the videos about Jimmy Bloom that Stanley had shared with her, Petunia remarked, "I couldn't figure out how to take down Cecelia. Thanks to you, I've got some juicy intel."
"Jimmy confessing on one knee and trying to plant a kiss on Cecelia forcefully if these videos get out, they'll be the most hated couple around."
