Revenge Wears My Ring novel Chapter 69

Warm water slid down his raw, burning throat, offering a fleeting sense of relief.

The flat-screen TV mounted on the hospital room wall, which had been silently playing a nature documentary, suddenly switched scenes.

A glaring red “Breaking News” banner flashed across the screen as a stern-faced newscaster delivered an urgent report at breakneck speed:

Senior executives and planners from Astral Media have been taken into custody. Sources say the group used forged evidence, hired online trolls, and manipulated the public to maliciously slander competitors and artist Yardley, severely disrupting market order and causing widespread social repercussions. The investigation is ongoing...”

Images flickered by: Astral Media’s headquarters surrounded by police cars, blurry footage of employees being led away, and a clipped statement from a police spokesperson.

Bennett looked up as well.
