Part 65; I will let the world see the truth

Lucy mumbled in tears.

" All you cared about was your husband and his son Canary. Whom you don't even share blood with." He said.

" That's what hurts me the most. That you were busy raising a child who is not yours yet I your brother, Your own blood was just there hustling." He added woth bitterness.

" And because of that Lucy, I will never forgive you." He vowed and walked away leaving her there.

Lucy felt a pang of gilt as Joel walked away leaving her in the living room.

She never knew that her actions could ever lead to all this. And now it was affecting her family.

Joel opened his drawer and pulled out a necklace, one of two he had bought for himself and Belinda.

He remembered the day he bought them, and the way Belinda's eyes sparkled when she saw hers.

As he held the necklace, memories flooded back. He remembered their plans, their love, and their brief time together. The necklace was all he had left to remind him of what he had lost.

' My love Belinda, I will forever revenge for what Lucy did to us…'

He vowed.

Joel's eyes closed, and he let the memories wash over him, the pain and sadness still fresh. The necklace was a bittersweet reminder of what could never be again.

When Canary was in his room, He smiled cheerfully and then called Lisa.

Lisa had been anxiously waiting for his call and she picked immediately.

"Hey, baby," he said, his voice low and husky.

" Canary…is everything alright ?" Lisa asked.

" Yeah." He smiled.

"I've got some great news. I showed the original video to my mom, and she knows the truth now."

Lisa's voice was filled with curiosity. " What did she say? Was she surprised?"

Canary's smile grew wider. "She was shocked, to say the least. She had no idea that her own brother, Joel, was behind the manipulation. And she's even more angry that Regina was involved."

Lisa's voice was filled with satisfaction. "I'm so glad the truth is finally out. You deserve to have your reputation cleared, Canary. And I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself and exposing the truth."

Canary's heart swelled with emotion. "I couldn't have done it without you, Lisa. You've been my rock through all of this. And now that the truth is out, we can finally be together without all the drama and scandal. I love you, baby."

Lisa's voice was filled with affection. "I love you too, Canary. And I'm so happy that we can finally move forward together, without all the secrets and lies. It's going to be a new beginning for us"

There was some silence and then Canary said.

" It's been a long day for me Lisa. Allow me say good night ." He said.

" Good night too.." She responded.

The following Morning, After the shower Canary dressed up and got his phone.

He stood in his dimly lit room, staring out the window as he dialed Mr. Smith's number.

The phone rang several times before Mr. Smith's deep voice answered.

"Mr. Smith, I have a video that proves my innocence in the scandal that led to my removal as CEO," Canary said, his voice firm and direct.

"I'd like to meet with you to show it to you."

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Mr. Smith responded.

" Are you sure about this Canary?"

"I think you'll find it very interesting, sir," Canary replied.

"It shows the real culprit behind the scandal, and it clears my name. I'd like to meet with you in person to show it to you."

Mr. Smith hesitated for a moment before agreeing to meet. "Meet me at the private cafe on the 5th floor and at 2 PM," he instructed.

Canary felt a sense of determination wash over him as he hung up the phone. He was finally going to clear his name and restore his reputation.

——

Canary arrived at the private cafe early, taking a seat at a table by the window. He ordered a cup of coffee and waited for Mr. Smith to arrive.

At 2 PM sharp, Mr. Smith walked in and spotted Canary. He nodded at Canary, taking a seat across from him. The tension between them was palpable.

"So, Canary, you said you have a video to show me," Mr. Smith said, getting straight to the point.

Canary pulled out his laptop bag and a small device that he added into it.

"Yes, sir. This is the video. It shows the truth behind the scandal, and it proves my innocence."

Mr. Smith's expression changed from skepticism to curiosity as he watched the video. As the footage played, his eyes widened in shock and anger.

The video showed the real conversation between Canary and Regina

. Mr. Smith's face turned red with anger as he watched, his fists clenched.

When the video finished, Mr. Smith looked up at Canary, his eyes blazing with determination.

"I believe you, Canary," he said, his voice firm. "I'll do everything in my power to clear your name and restore your reputation."

Canary felt a wave of relief wash over him, but he knew that this was just the beginning.

" Don't you wonder who did this ?" Canary asked.

" True, Then who was behind it ?" Mr Smith asked.

" Joel and Regina joined hands to put me down." He declared.

Mr. Smith's eyes widened in shock. "Joel, your uncle? And Regina, your ex-girlfriend?" he asked, his voice incredulous.

Canary nodded. "Yes, they're the ones who manipulated the video and framed me for the scandal. But I'm not going to reveal that to the world."

Mr. Smith's expression changed from shock to curiosity. "Why not?" he asked.

Canary smiled, a cold and calculated smile. "Because I want to protect my family's reputation, and I don't want to drag Regina's name through the mud. But I will release the video online to prove my innocence. I'll let the world see the truth, and I'll clear my name without revealing the identities of the people who wronged me."

Mr. Smith nodded, a look of approval on his face. "I think that's a good idea, Canary. It's a classy move, and it shows that you're not interested in seeking revenge. You just want to clear your name and move on."

Canary nodded, feeling a sense of satisfaction. "That's right, Mr. Smith. I just want to move on and rebuild my life. And I think releasing the video online is the best way to do that."

Mr. Smith smiled, a warm and genuine smile. "I think you're making a great decision, Canary. I'll support you every step of the way."
