FakeNovelChapter 1015: Marcus's brows knitted together. "But in the end, it was Cedric who saved Huey." Hackett's shoulders slumped, his voice thick with emotion. "Exactly! That's Cedric's game-he wants..." "To turn us against each other. Do I really have to spell this out? My God, after all these years of brotherhood, you'd rather believe Cedric over me?" Hackett ran a hand through his hair, shaking his head in disbelief. “This is killing me, guys. I never thought you'd doubtlike this." Hackett's display was so heartfelt, so convincing, that none of them could say for sure what had really happened. Silence settled over the group.

For the briefest moment, something unreadable flickered in Hackett's eyes. The group fixed their eyes on him, their expressions unreadable.
Hackett clutched his chest, feigning disbelief. "How would I know? Are you suggesting that I deliberately kept the fire department away? The roads were packed! You saw it yourselves. The fire truck was stuck on the overpass. Are you going to pin that ontoo? This is absurd!" A single tear slipped down his cheek-just enough to sell the performance.
Bruno exhaled, shaking his head. "Hackett, don't overdo it. We're just talking things through-no need to take it personally. We don't know what really happened. From where we stood, we saw you and Cedric run out, but in the end, it was Cedric who saved Huey. Can you blus for having doubts? Once Huey's better, the truth will cout on its own." Hackett let out a weary sigh, nodding as if the weight of their doubt crushed him. His car pulled up first, but he hesitated. Leaving now meant giving them tto talk-tto twist the story against him.
Marcus gestured toward the waiting vehicle. "Go on, Hackett. Your car's here." Left with no other option, Hackett climbed inside.

Marcus' voice was laced with suspicion. “Hackett's as slippery as they come. There's something off about him." Farley nodded in agreement. "Exactly! The fire department should've been onsite right away. So why were they missing when it mattered most?" Bruno frowned. "From where I was standing, I caught a glimpse outside. It looked tolike Hackett let go of Huey while Cedric was holding on to him tightly."
Tripp narrowed his eyes. "I heard Hackett's company is circling the drain. He's desperate, willing to use anything to make Daniela back off."
A tense silence settled over the group as they exchanged knowing glances. One by one, their day's pulled up, and they each departed, leaving the conversation hanging in the air.
Hidden in the shadows, Hackett clenched his fists. Fury boiledbeneath his skin. Traitors: Every last one of them. They actually believed Cedric over him? Unforgivable. They all deserved to die!
