Chapter 452:
Another thug, Gianni Valdez, stepped up, his voice dripping with contempt. “We let it slide back then. But now you send people after us and dig up the past. What the hell are you trying to pull p>
The third thug, Lowell Dury, let loose a stream of curses, his temper boiling over. “For crying out loud, that was seven years ago! And now you’re dragging this crap back up, Fulton? You’re out here looking for trouble p>
After hauling these thugs in, Tyler had lied to them, claiming it was Fulton who had sent him after them. If they wanted to walk away in one piece, they were to show up at the hospital and admit their part so the matter could finally be put to rest.
The thugs, gullible as ever, immediately assumed Fulton had orchestrated the whole thing.
Fulton’s face drained of color, his voice rising in disbelief. “What are you talking about? I wish I’d never have to lay eyes on you again — why the hell would I send people after you p>

“Cut the act,” Liam shot back with a cruel smirk. “If this blows up and the police get involved, we’ll make sure you go down with us p>
Gianni leaned in, his tone dripping with menace. “If we end up in jail, you’ll be beaten to a pulp. We’ll see to it you never leave a wheelchair p>
Lowell spat, “Once we’re locked up, you’re finished p>
A shiver of dread finally crept into Fulton’s chest, and the throbbing ache in his wound flared sharper than before. His lips trembled as he shot a venomous glare at Gabriela. “You’re the one who dragged them here p>
Tyler’s fist shot up in warning, his voice a low snarl. “Don’t you dare glare at Gabriela p>
The fight drained from Fulton instantly. He wilted, swallowing his pride, his tone turning meek. “Alright… what is it you want from me p>
Gabriela gave Billy a quick nod, and he reached over to shut off the live stream. Millions of viewers who had been watching were suddenly left staring at nothing but a black screen.
They grew restless, fumbling with their phones in agitation.
“What the hell? It froze right at the climax? I need to see Fulton’s confession p>
“Unbelievable, so his heroic act of saving Tessa was just a sham? That bastard actually hired thugs to put on a show p>
“And then he twisted that fake ‘favor’ into chains, using it to keep Tessa trapped at his side. Years of manipulation, years of beating her down p>
“If Gabriela hadn’t interfered, Tessa would’ve been condemned to spend her whole life drowning in misery p>
“I owe Gabriela a real apology for pinning the blame on her again p>
Sensing the viewers’ outrage surging in the chat, Gem jumped in quickly, steering the conversation toward practical advice on how young women could protect themselves.
The pivot worked. The topic lit up the comment section, pulling in more and more voices, and Gem rode the surge to gain another wave of followers.
Gabriela, meanwhile, ignored the chaos on screen. She calmly reached into her bag, pulled out the settlement papers Benedict had prepared, and held them in front of Fulton. Her voice was steady, edged with authority. “Sign the agreement, and I’ll keep the police out of this p>
The thugs instantly fixed Fulton with cold, dangerous stares. “You’d better think twice before you open your mouth,” one of them warned.
