My Retribution

Part 46

Freen's POV

Everything is going back to normal. I fetch Becky to school and do my routine as usual. Luckily I took advanced classes so I wasn't that behind in class. Becky has been clingy more than usual. I want to keep distance between us especially when the gang is complete but when she's being persistent I can't say no.

Becky: (cute voice) Teerak can you kiss me? I'm so stressed.

Freen: (pokerface) Later, honey, eat your lunch, okay?

Becky: (making a cute face) Please, love. Pretty please.

Just like that, saying the word please twice or a cute pouty face and bam! she got what she wants. I'm helpless that way because my heart can't handle it even if my mind objects. I kissed her in front of them and so I feel my heart flutter with joy that automatically puts a smile on my face. "I hope the spy won't report this to grandma"

I wiped the food residue on her mouth when her phone rang. I saw the name Dad on her screen which made me worry cause I know what the call is all about. It's the case about his brother. Liza built a good relationship with the victims, gaining their trust and confidence. it took some time but it's done. She did report it to me last night so I know. Most of them agreed to step forward and filed a case against Richie. I ordered Liza to accommodate the victims to use all the social media platform to voice their experience while showing a proof that a case has already been filed against Richie. They even made a hashtag which helps make it more viral. I want to broadcast what kind of a devil the Armstrong are. This will make the case stronger and have more impact against Richie. He will definitely go to jail where he deserves. I want to send him to hell where he belongs but seeing Rebecca in pain changed my mind so jail it is.

Becky's POV

I'm really happy that Freen and I reconciled. At least with my shitty life something good happened. "Well she's the only beautiful thing I have in my life" I'm so stressed to balance school while being a successor but I tend not to show it. I was still eating when Dad called me. He mentioned that as of today 28 women filed a case against Richie claiming the same thing with Risa.

I felt weak. I saw the gang looked at Kate's and Jim's phone. The perks of having the biggest network in Asia and for having a police director and lawyer as a family. I bet they know too. I am in pain but my tears are dried and for some reason I can't cry anymore. I sat on my seat and stayed quiet as I held the spoon to continue my meal. Freen knows that I'm not ok so she made me stand up and made me sit on her lap while back hugging me.

Yuki: (sincere) I'm sorry Becky.

Jim: (serious) I would still think that Richie is innocent if it's only one victim but a lot of women started to come forward, claiming the same thing.  Perhaps it's true.

Kate: He is not yet convicted, hence he is still not guilty but people, including me is starting to question his innocence.

Tim: Your our friend Becky. But I'm sorry to say that I think whatever happenings right now about your brother is true. He might be responsible.

Freen stayed silent and didn't utter a word. I clenched the spoon that I'm holding and tears began to flow out of annoyance and anger.

Becky: So what? If it is? You gonna cut me off and talk behind my back too?

Jim: We're not like that, Becky. Please don't think that way. We are still your friends. Besides whatever he did that doesn't mean that you're included as well. We are your real friends so we're just voicing our opinion. All we're saying is that it might be true that Richie has a side that you've never seen.

Becky: (serious voice) I've known him my whole life Jim.

Tim: (curious) Then why don't you know that he has a dark side?
