Chapter 120: Quentin Morgan
“What the hell are you talking about”? Quentin Morgan scoffed. “Why would I do such a thing”?
“That’s exactly what I want to know”. Mr Wrisberg took out his phone and showed him the clip.
“That could be anybody”! Quentin suggested.
“I know. Look how carefully this guy avoided the cameras. Now that I recall, you did help my son fix up the technical stuff for the banquet”? Mr Wrisberg narrowed his eyes.
“Seriously”? Quentin gave him an unamused expression. “I can’t believe you’re basing that off on such minimal evidence. I expected better from you, Arthur. How could you accuse me for something like this? I thought we were friends”..
“So did I. Apparently our friendship means nothing to you”. Mr Wrisberg scoffed. “Do you know anyone named Diane Colton”? Mr Wrisberg.
“No. And I have nothing to do with whatever you are suggesting. Quentin insisted. “This is ridiculous! If you weren’t my friend, the head Alpha of our pack, I would throw you out”!
.....
“Hold that thought” Mr. Wrisberg instructed while he dug up something on his phone. “Modern technology is such a convenience” he mumbled before he held the screen against Quentin’s face.
Suddenly another lady popped up on the screen who shouted. “Yes! That’s him”!
“Thank you Mrs Colton. I really appreciate all the help”. He expressed his gratitude politely before he hung up. Quentin who was so confident a moment ago didn’t seem so confident anymore. He stared at Mr Wrisberg with a blank face but his quivering fingers gave away his true emotions.
Before anyone could utter any word, Quentin ran away. He made his exit from the backdoor, but before he could go much further he was blocked by two people. He recognized one of them, the other was a stranger to him. “Hello, Mr Morgan. Going somewhere”? Christian folded his arms.
Quentin looked around trying to find a proper escape, but before he could contemplate anything, everything went black for him.
When he opened his eyes he found himself surrounded by damp walls and iron bars, ahead of which that new guy from earlier stood who simply watched Quentin with a curious gaze. “Who are you”? Quentin found himself asking.
“I am the guy you pissed off. Thanks to you I spent some horrible time behind this jail. Now let’s see how you deal with it”. Sebastian smirked.
“What”? Quentin frowned.
“That’s right. That drug you mixed ended up getting into my system”. Sebastian glared at Quentin. The rest of the duo appeared right at that moment. “Why did you do it? You don’t even know me, so I assume you were looking to create havoc. Why did you do it then? What do you have against this pack”? Sebastian bombarded him with all the questions.
“I got this from here”. Mr Wrisberg instructed Sebastian. He turned to Quentin and spoke, “I haven’t informed you family yet, about your whereabouts. But, eventually I have to because the pack needs to know how one of its members went against his own pack. I suggest you better start talking”. Mr Wrisberg advised coldly.
“You are threatening me”? Quentin scoffed.
“Yes”. Mr Wirisberg replied without skipping a beat. “For someone convicted of a crime, you sure have a lot of attitude”.
Quentin went quiet for a whole moment before he sighed in defeat. “Fine, what do you want to know”? He asked.
“Why did you do it? All these years that I have known you, you were nothing but nice. I still find it hard to believe that you could do something like this. So what changed”? Mr. Wrisberg asked.
“My daughters were abducted by some ruthless wolf a few months ago. That’s what changed”. He spat. “That you, as an Alpha failed to protect so many innocent omegas”.
“What do you mean?” Mr Wrisberg narrowed his eyes. “Is this some kind of revenge for that. Because I must say, your approach is quite ironic. Attacking the same pack I failed to protect”.
“I am not that petty”. Quentin snapped. “But, I am protective of my daughters”. The trio frowned but looked at him curiously. “A few days before the banquet, I received a letter. It had a tiny note along with a small white packet. That note said ‘you need this’. I had no idea what the heck it was so I threw it in the trash’. The next day I received another envelope with a long letter explaining to me what to do, which ended with an ‘or else...’. Along with that letter there were several pictures of my daughters, doing various activities, as if someone was stalking them. As if that wasn’t all, I also found a few pictures of them from when they were abducted”. Quentin explained.
“So, you are saying that someone threatened you”? Mr Wrisberg frowned. “Why didn’t you report me earlier instead? Why did you go through the plan? If you came to me, I could have protected your family and caught the culprit who abducted those omegas long ago”. Mr Wrisberg’s voice raised by a few decibels.
“You honestly want me to believe that”? Quentin scoffed. “You knew last time what was happening. The abduction started months ago before my daughter’s were taken away, yet failed to protect them back then”.
“Because I didn’t expect them to be so audacious”! Mr Wrisberg defended.
“Doesn’t matter. You failed to protect them nevertheless. They are my children Arthur, and it is my job to ensure their safety. The note clearly mentioned that if I inform you I would have to bear the consequences. If I didn’t have a family I wouldn’t be so worried. But I would not have jeopardised my family, my children like that”.
“So you didn’t think of the consequences that could arise if you went through that plan?” Mr Wrisberg glared.
“I did, but I had to protect my daughters. I don’t expect you to understand Arthur. You are blessed with two Alpha sons, you won’t know what it’s like to be a father of an omega who is always mistreated in this society”! Quentin scoffed.
“I would”. Mr Wirsberg fought the urge to say these words out loud, but he simply mumbled them in his head while his glare softened a little bit.
