Apologize to Linsey, Collin ordered, his voice cutting through the air like ice.

The command made Huntley scoff to himself, barely hiding a smirk, as if the whole idea was some senseless joke.

Never in his life had he humbled himself before anyone, let alone a woman who couldn t even stand up to him.

Feigning confusion, Huntley asked, Apologize? For what, exactly? I was out all night drinking with friends, head s still spinning. I honestly don t remember a thing.

You heard her. She said you were acting indecently. Collin s eyes narrowed, his tone growing even colder.

Come again? Huntley made a show of digging a finger into his ear, acting as if he hadn t heard a word.

A mocking laugh escaped him as he replied, dripping with arrogance, Why would I ever bother with someone like her? So what if she accused me of acting indecently? Does simply saying it make it true? If that s how it works, maybe I should turn it around and say she was the one seducing me.

That s a flat-out lie! I never tried to seduce you! Linsey snapped back, her voice edged with anger.

Oh, now I m the liar? Huntley let out a low whistle, his tone dripping with mockery. Without evidence, your accusations mean nothing. For all anyone knows, you could be the one slandering me.

You Linsey s hands trembled with rage.

She knew he had a point. There was no proof, nothing to support her claims. Regret flooded through Linsey. If only she had had the sense to record everything on her phone, she could have thrown his words right back at him.

Huntley, clearly enjoying her frustration, let a smug grin curl across his face. No evidence, no case. I ll be leaving now.

Collin didn t move to stop him this time.

A heavy sense of helplessness crashed over Linsey, mingling with her anger and humiliation.

M ? .

Suddenly, Collin pulled out his phone and pressed play, letting a video fill the silence with Huntley s voice and face, clearly showing him harassing Linsey. Halfway to the exit, Huntley stopped cold, stunned by the sound of his own words echoing back at him. Content originally comes from fin?novel.net

Collin s smile was frosty as he took Linsey s side. You ve got two choices. Either I let the whole family watch this video and see for themselves how you harassed Linsey, or you can get down on your knees and beg her forgiveness. Your choice.

The color drained from Huntley s face.

Without a word, he lunged forward, clearly aiming to grab Collin s phone. But Collin anticipated the move, holding the phone just out of reach and wearing a taunting grin.

Go on, try it. Think you can snatch the phone before I send this little gem straight to Dad?

His fingers danced across the screen, deliberately slow.

There was too much space between them for Huntley to close the gap in time. He would never beat Collin s reflexes.

Wait! Panic crept into Huntley s voice as he watched Collin get ready to send the video, desperation clear in his eyes.

Collin stopped, a faint, icy smile on his lips as he fixed Huntley with a steely gaze. I ll count down from ten. That s all the patience we ve got. Ten, nine, eight, seven
