I didn't feel like responding to Halley for now, I just felt really upset, like my mind was going blank.
If my parents saw this news, they would be super pissed, especially my mom, her heart wasn't strong, she needed to keep her emotions in check.
Holding back my anger, I dialed Neil's number.
He didn't pick up.
The second time I tried calling him, he even hung up on me.
I was livid. I needed to find someone to take down those news as soon as possible, because if they continued to spread, things would get worse.
First, I shared the situation in our group chat, asking Stella and others to help me out with this.
Besides reaching out to the person who posted it and asking them to delete it, I also needed to be ready legally. If they refuse to take down the content, then I would have no choice but to go to court.
Surprisingly, the poster was adamant about not deleting it.
I didn't know his identity, but I could sense from our conversation that he wasn't afraid of me calling the police. Soon after, Stella called me. I told her what happened and she asked me, "Are you sure only Neil has those photos?"
"I think so, but I'm not sure if he's the one who posted them." I answered, frowning.
"Well, he must be doing this on purpose to get back at you!" Stella said angrily, "He must be doing this because of the BonnieBitch incident. Rena, let's find a hacker and get rid of those photos."
"Okay, you go ahead and get that sorted, I'll go find Neil." I needed to get some answers from Neil. If he was the one who posted the photos, then he needed to be the one to solve this problem, otherwise those photos might show up again.
I drove to Grandeur Oaks Estates, thinking he might be there.
But when I arrived, Neil wasn't there.
I had no choice but to go to Sterling Estates. From what I remember, Neil didn't like Sterling Estates, I didn't think he would return there after our divorce.
The lights at Sterling Estates were on, the servants I had asked Bailey to hire were bustling around, I had no idea what they were busy with.
When they saw me, one of them exclaimed in surprise, "Mrs. Whitmore?"
Then she realized she got it wrong and quickly corrected herself, "Ms. Finch, what brings you here?"
"I'm looking for Neil, is he here?" I asked.
"Mr. Whitmore isn't here..." The maid looked a bit weird, her tone was awkward, "Ms. Finch, why don't you try calling Mr. Whitmore?"
I looked at the villa not far away, the light in the master bedroom was on. If Neil wasn't there, then who was inside?
I had a strong feeling that led me towards the villa.
"The Whitmore family sure is loaded, look at this living room, it's as big as our old house..." In the living room, Dean was exclaiming.
"Dean, do you think it's okay for us to move in here?" Ada asked hesitantly.
Dean was sitting on my custom-made sofa, comforting Ada, "We had no choice, Bonnie is very strong, she wouldn't accept Mr. Whitmore's money. We had to sell the house we just bought to pay for her upcoming surgery, where else could we live?"
Ada sighed, then turned her head. When she saw me standing in the doorway, her face changed immediately.
Dean also saw me and immediately stood up, looking at me awkwardly.
