The second her call was answered, she immediately yelled, “Zivon Burton! Regardless of how much you hate me, haven’t you considered that this could affect the kids?! How are they supposed to show their faces at school now?!”
Following a brief pause, Nathan’s voice replied, “…Mrs. Burton, Young Master Burton didn’t send that video out at all. You should know that he only sent out that letter to scare you into handing over the children, and also, I believe that he wants to keep them so much since that would mean that you would still occasionally visit…”
…Wait, what? That was his reasoning? Also, he wasn’t the one who posted the video? Then… Hold on. Nathan and Rhea were present earlier as well. Since there was no way that Nathan could’ve done it… then Rhea was probably the culprit! Speaking of Rhea…
“…You say that, but Rhea-”
“As if he could ever fall for such a woman! When she showed up earlier, he immediately told her to leave, though… Since she kept insisting to come in, all he could do was allow her to do so for a while. Naturally, that means that he had only said all that in front of you earlier to get back at you… Please don’t take his words personally, Mrs. Burton…”
…Though she was glad to hear that, she simultaneously felt a little bummed. After all, he had already used the same tactic with Sophia and Whitney, and they both ended up going psychotic… Was Rhea going to be the next to take the mantle…?
Her train of thought was cut short when Nathan added, “Oh, and before I forget, you should know that Young Master Burton vomited blood several times today… and after being sent to the hospital, it was revealed shortly after that his cells were regrowing faster than ever! If this continues, then he’ll surely be able to stand again soon!”
