Chapter 1505
“Stay seated,” the man warned.
Maggie’s gaze flickered to the man’s visage, recognition dawning with a trace of shock.
This was Remy, the former sales manager from the BMW dealership, who had been dismissed.
What was he doing here?
Beside him on the sofa was a woman in disarray.
She was no stranger.
She was Lily, Remy’s sister-in-law.

A wave of realization crashed over Maggie, a premonition flickering in her mind.
She had been aware her brother was overindulgent with alcohol and had ended up sleeping with a waitress.
Now, the waitress was threatening legal action for assault.
Could it be that Bart had been ensnared by this duo’s scheme?
With this thought, Maggie’s hands balled into fists.
“Remy, release my brother! State your demands clearly,” she demanded.
With that, Remy released Bart, remarking, “Ms.
Shear, your directness is commendable.
”
Maggie remained silent, her attention on Bart as he scurried over, eyes brimming with regret.
She spared him the questions of his predicament; her focus was on uncovering Remy’s intent.
“Ms.
Shear, please, watch this video first,” Remy proposed, flicking through his phone before presenting a disturbing scene.
On the screen, Bart was seen pinning down Lily, who was crying out for help.
Maggie’s expression darkened, her fists clenched even more firmly.
Remy had meticulously captured their explicit encounter, arriving well-prepared for the task at hand.
Clearly, it was a trap laid out for Bart.
Observing Remy, Maggie fought to keep her fury at bay and inquired, “What is it that you’re after, Remy?”
Safely tucking away his phone, Remy began, “The situation is quite clear.
Your brother, inebriated and out of control, coerced Lily into a sexual act despite her objections.
If you wish to prevent your brother’s downfall…”
He trailed off intentionally.
Maggie, her lips pressed tightly together, ventured a guess, “Is it money you’re after?”
