The moment those words left his mouth, the others erupted.
"Bullshit! You think everyone's as twisted and rotten as you?"
"Nate's helped all of us too, and none of us turned out like you. We're grateful."
"Yeah, because we actually have a conscience. Unlike you, you worthless piece of trash."
The shouting was loud enough to shake the walls, and between that and the tea that had been thrown in her face, Valerie sobered up fast.
But the moment she came to, she saw everyone standing on my side, tearing Morris apart.
Valerie's eyes flashed with fury. She steadied herself and stepped in front of Morris like a shield.
"Shut your mouths! Whatever's between me, my husband, and him is none of your business!"
"I had too much to drink. I made a mistake. I called Morris the wrong—"
I didn't give Valerie the chance to spin her story. I grabbed my phone and hurled it at her.
"Take a look. Pulled this off the security cameras."
Valerie watched the footage of herself and Morris, naked and tangled together. There wasn't a shred of shame on her face. Instead, she slammed the phone into the floor, seething.
