Behind The Spotlight Chapter 133
Collin stared at the recording device on his table, a frown deepening as he contemplated the implications of what he had captured. Yes, Collin had recorded his negotiation with Milo Finn. However, he knew this recording was a hot potato that could easily backfire if used carelessly. The conversation alone wasn't enough to convict Milo or create serious legal trouble, its contents were too weak to serve as reliable evidence against someone with money and influence.
As for Milo's boss, whom he claimed was interested in young girls, Collin had to plan carefully. Acting recklessly could ruin everything.
For now, the recording would remain hidden in his room, untouched until the right moment arrived. It was more of a mental reminder of the industry's ugly truths. Collin had learned from other agents that holding weapons for leverage in negotiations or power plays was a common tactic.
Blackmailing Velvet Harmony with this tape was not feasible. The evidence wasn't strong enough, and rumors about the label's boss suggested a dangerous, untouchable man. Collin wasn't about to put himself or his family at risk.
'I'm not starting a fire,' he thought, 'but if someone else does, the tape might help a little. Unfortunately, I don't have solid evidence, and I won't endanger myself or my family.'
Despite his anger at the corrupt and powerful, Collin prioritized the safety of his loved ones over personal vengeance. Jeff Stain, the boss of Velvet Harmony, was rumored to be a rich financier with ties to influential figures in politics and entertainment. He was allegedly untouchable, a friend of the U.S. president, and his power shielded him from accountability.
'I heard this guy is close to Papa Daddy, the rapper who allegedly had connections to Two-Pack and Big-Small's deaths,' Collin thought, simmering with rage at the injustices of wealth and influence.
After a few minutes, he forced himself to exhale and focus on what he could actually control. He hid the recording tape in his locked cabinet where no one would think to look.
