Chapter: 408
Moments ago, Rupert had warned that Tyrone might track them down, but he hadn’t
anticipated being discovered this quickly.
As they remained silent, Tyrone refrained from probing further.
Instead, he asked, “Are Gossip About Love, News Disclosure, and Entertainment Industry’s
Secrets your accounts?”
Their response was a collective, heavy silence.
The tall man felt his heart pound in his chest as he dropped his gaze.
Despite his previous bravado, he knew Tyrone’s revenge would be swift and none amongst
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem were brave enough to step forward.
Recognizing their reluctance, a young man applied pressure to an injured employee’s leg,
eliciting a sharp cry. With his eyes filled with terror and sweat dripping down his face, the
man looked around fearfully.
The young man surveyed the group, then commanded, “Answer the question.”

Simms, pinned under the young man’s feet, protested, “I didn’t contact anyone. They
shared it because it was trending! Stop falsely accusing me!”
An argument erupted among them, each desperate to absolve themselves of blame.
Tyrone cast a glance at Barnes and the others, signaling the young man.
The young man proceeded to lock the door, confining them in the room, before shouting,
“Shut up!”
Silence descended.
“Who is Rupert?” Tyrone queried, settling down on a couch.
Rupert, who had been previously beaten, trembled but tried to play dumb.
