Tiana, holding a flash drive, plugged it into the computer and began, "That night I sneaked into the club, Jarvis spotted me through the surveillance. They ganged up and captured me. By then, I'd already gathered a ton of dirt on Bryce.
Including the fact that right after your wedding, which Ludwik crashed—Bryce was already cheating on you with Audrey.
The truth is: Bryce cheated before you even thought about it!
I was so close to confronting Audrey, asking her if Bryce had slept with her right on his wedding night.
Unfortunately, after I vanished, something must've ticked Bryce off about Audrey, maybe she threatened him?
He had her killed!
But, no worries. Bryce thought he'd destroyed all the evidence I had on him that night he thought he got rid of me.
Ha, but I'm a hacker, remember? I'd already backed up all his dirty secrets on an encrypted cloud.
I never thought I'd be back to open Pandora's box."
After saying that, Tiana opened the encrypted files on the cloud and showed Whitney, who was fuming, "Less than three months after divorcing you, Bryce wasn't just with Audrey; he played the field.
He and Jarvis had been sharing those 'princesses' in the club's VIP rooms, whips included, taking turns... the more disgusting, the better.
I saw it with my own eyes and got it all on camera!
If you're thinking of suing for divorce, this is the smoking gun!"
Whitney stared at the footage, her stomach churning.
She clenched her jaw, nodding, "Bryce treated the new secretary in his office the same way. I've kept surveillance footage as evidence."
"My evidence predates yours a bit. Combined, they prove Bryce not only cheated before and during your marriage but was continuously unfaithful!
He's vile, calculating, and manipulative. Maybe he had a bit of affection for you three years ago, but I guarantee his pursuit later on was because he knew about your identity as Whitney.
You must have realized by now, after returning from being kidnapped by Ludwik, he claimed to still love you, but in reality, he wanted to keep you close to exact revenge!
That's straight from Audrey.
Also, Audrey mentioned his grand ambitions.
When I returned to Delight Mansion, I overheard him discussing with you about introducing him to the Sheldon Group for a partnership.
That's when I knew he was plotting to infiltrate the Sheldon Group, aiming to take over your dad's company!
I followed him into the club, heard him and Jarvis plotting on how to get you to sign the partnership quickly... he even said you were a tough nut to crack, constantly delaying. He mentioned he'd find another way, targeting the Sheldon family's vulnerabilities.
I desperately wanted to share these alarming details with you.
But that night, they silenced me for good.
After my disappearance, I have no clue what else he's done to you or the Sheldon Group.
Has the Sheldon Group signed anything with him recently?"
Tiana pressed, urgency in her voice.
Whitney's face was clouded with horror, realizing Bryce's intentions weren't just retaliatory.
He wasn't just after revenge; he was climbing the ladder, aiming to swallow the Sheldon Group whole, potentially making the Lutz Group the top enterprise in Harmonia Country!
