Chapter 826 - How is your dads business? (2/2)

”OK. OK. I will tell you.” Madison hesitated and that made Kyra's curiosity shoot up.

After some time, Madison admitted: ”Liam gave me the… aphrodisiac.”

Kyra's mouth was slightly open. ”You drugged Aiden?”

”Shhh… Lower your voice.”

”Who else was involved?” Kyra saw that this is a gold mine. She needs to know the details!

Madison frowned. ”How do you know that someone else was involved?”

”Liam is a scheming coward. He always has sidekicks.”

Madison could not deny this… and she already told everything to Kyra, so she might as well tell her this as well. ”Thomas.”

”Thomas Scott? I see…” Kyra did a dramatic pause before asking: ”Tell me the truth. Did Aiden sleep with you?”

”Does it matter?”

Kyra shrugged. ”To me? It does not. But if he didn't, it would explain few things.”

”What things?”

”Businesses of Scott and Balfew families are suddenly experiencing some… difficulties. And they are not the only ones.”

”How do you know?” Madison always wondered how Kyra finds out things. She always knows what is happening, everywhere.

Kyra observed Madison for some time while thinking how much she should tell her. Well, she needs to tell her something. ”People are talking about it. Rumor is that they offended the White family in some way, and that rumor is enough for many to refuse to associate with them. People are breaking ties with them faster than you can remove unwanted bodily hair with waxing. You can check the stock market. As soon as the marked opened yesterday, their value started plummeting. And it's not just their main families. Businesses and properties that their relatives own are also losing value rapidly. By the way, how is your dad's business?”

”He is… fine.”, Madison didn't sound confident.

”Really? You can't see daily updates for privately owned companies, but did you notice some changes with your dad? Does he look busier, or more stressed?”

Madison bit her lower lip while thinking how since they came back day before yesterday she barely saw her father. Is his business in trouble? Because he offended the White family? Is it because of her? She shook her head. No, not possible. Her story is credible. Aiden came to her room and assaulted her. The only liability is that aphrodisiac. Liam will not talk because it will implicate him. And even if Aiden went for a toxicology test, Liam assured her that the moment drugs wear off, they are practically untraceable. So, it will be her word against Aiden's. He can't prove anything. However… with all the commotion that evening, it seems that she misplaced the bottle. Probably the room service picked it up and thought it's trash. Yes. That is what happened.

But, is her father's business in trouble? She needs to check on that. While at it, she can check what her father did related to Aiden assaulting her at the wedding.

Madison stood up. ”Excuse me, I just remembered I need to do something. We can catch up some other time.” She put a $50 bill on the table and walked out.

Kyra looked after Madison and smirked while thinking that they will probably not see each other again. After Whites are done with Madison… there will not be much left.
