8:19 AM
Mr. Turner left the office of the resort owner.
"Are we going to allow him to leave like that?", Stella asked Elanor while losing control over her voice due to anger.
Elanor narrowed her eyes at the closed door. "I am known for many things, but forgiveness is not one of them. Let's get Oscar and Edward here."
Bridgette wanted to leave, but she found that it will be inappropriate. So she continued typing on her laptop. It's best to keep busy, and she has some documents to go through anyway…
…
8:41 AM
Elanor, Stella, Oscar and Edward are in the sitting area of the office and they just finished watching the videos which show how Liam and Thomas dragged Aiden into Madison's room, and how Sarah got Aiden out.
Elanor and Stella already told them about Mr. Turner and his side of the story, and also what Sarah said over the phone.
All four of them have threatening expressions. They are angry.
"We need to know who those two boys are.", Elanor told Edward.
Edward nodded in response and looked at Bridgette who was seated at the desk and pretending to be invisible.
"Bridgette, is Eve in the resort buildings?"
Bridgette responded to Edward with a series of rapid nods.
Edward used his phone to ask Eve about identities of two young men on the video besides Aiden. That was all he needed in order to start doing his magic. He got his laptop and within minutes, they were looking at the information about Madison Turner, Liam Balfew, Thomas Scott and their families, businesses and income. The printer on the side was spewing sheet after sheet relentlessly, and Edward was still gathering additional data.
Bridgette was trying to be useful by making sure that printer does not run out of paper.
"Two boys left the resort few hours ago. The girl is still here… in her father's room.", Edward informed others.
"I told Sarah that I will leave Madison to her. I'm sure that our kids will want to personally handle those two boys as well… but their families are a different thing.", Stella said and other three agreed.
"I'm taking care of White corp. while Jeff is away, so I will cancel any ongoing deals with them. And I will use my connections to make sure their businesses suffer. We will use loopholes to avoid paying any penalties." Oscar knows that those three were at the wedding because their parents have business deals with their family. He looked at the data about their businesses. "Mr. Turner has ongoing contracts with Orion Enterprise… and so does Mr. Balfew."
"I will talk to Sophia to cancel them as soon as possible.", Stella said and got her phone. There is no reason to delay.
"Besides businesses, let's see what else they have… they dared to touch our kids… their whole families will pay for that.", Elanor mumbled while going through papers spread on the table in front of her. She was not happy. She was not happy at all. Pent up anger needs to be released somewhere. "After we cut off everything they hold dear, we will go after them… they need to suffer physically as well. No one messes with White family and lives to laugh about it. Even if they didn't know about what those kids are up to, they raised them... they should suffer consequences for not instilling enough respect in them."
"Don't do it without us.", Stella responded with a sinister smile while putting her phone next to her ear. "Sophia dear, I hope I didn't wake you up. Did you sleep well? … There is one thing that happened…"
9:09 AM
After spending some time in the garden trying to calm his mind, Mr. Turner returned to his suite with a mix of emotions.
Madison is still sleeping, so he sat on the sofa and thought about what happened.
He went to raise a point how his daughter was assaulted by the young man she adores for years… and then his mother showed up. Mrs. White… and that other woman, Mrs. Hill. Two of them listened his story carefully, and without a word stepped outside. After few minutes two women returned, and he can swear that temperature in that office dropped significantly because he was shivering.
They all watched the surveillance video from previous evening: his daughter was returning to her room, timestamp was 9:33 PM. She was followed by two young men who were almost dragging the third one. He didn't recognize two young men, but the one in the middle is Aiden White… and Aiden obviously resisted. He even placed his hands on the doorframe, but one of other two punched him in the lower back and they pushed him inside.
There was not a lot of talk, but Mr. Turner definitely heard Madison laughing and one of the boys said: "I can't believe that he is still resisting…"
Just what was that? Mr. Turner's mind refused to accept the obvious.
Other two young men stepped outside in less than a minute and lingered outside the door for a bit before laughing and walking away. They mentioned hurrying toward some shed.
No matter how much he wants to believe his daughter, Mr. Turner needs to admit that what he saw does not look like a video of a man who forced his way into Madison's room… or a man who came to her room willingly with intention to violate his daughter.
"Mr. Turner, does this look like my boy is about to assault your daughter? He is barely walking! And he does not even want to go inside!", he remembered Mrs. White's raised voice. She tried to look calm, but he can tell that she was furious.
The next video they watched had a timestamp of 9:45 PM. It showed that another girl got in Madison's room and few minutes later she walked out with Aiden, leaving Madison behind.
He remembers that Mrs. Hill gave him a piercing glare before speaking: "An assault? Did you check your daughter? Was her underwear torn? Do you know that she drugged Aiden in order to take advantage of him? Luckily my daughter came in time and saved him… We are the ones who should be asking you and your daughter for an explanation!"
Madison drugged Aiden? What kind of nonsense was that? And of course, he didn't check his daughter's underwear. What father would do that? He is not a creep!
Did Mrs. Hill address that other girl as her daughter?
Mr. Turner paced through the sitting area of his suite while thinking that what he saw does not prove that Madison was not assaulted, but it raises few flags.
That boy didn't come to her room by himself. And Madison didn't look in distress.
When he found her, she was tied up. There is no way that she could do that to herself. And her clothes were ripped… He tried to remember what Madison said when he found her, but he only remembers that she firmly refused medical help and police… it could be that she was ashamed, but it can also be that she… was lying.
'No, no, no…' Mr. Turner shook his head rapidly. Madison might be lazy and spoiled and enamored with that boy to the point of obsession, but this… this is too much. To lie that she was assaulted? Assuming that is correct, and she lied… what does Madison think she can accomplish with that? Even true assault victims have difficulty proving their case, not to mention the lying ones… the most she could do is to tarnish his name, and that is only IF someone believes her. But she will definitely tarnish her name. Does she not care about her image? And this is White family! It's not just their name, their business and everything is at risk!
Also… the boy was in that room with Madison for no more than ten minutes. Considering how he was dragging himself, is it possible that he managed to assault his daughter during those ten minutes?
