Chapter 209: Fast Action
The next day, Marcella investigated how Rourke managed to figure out that she was behind Natalie’s magazine interview. It was not yet public knowledge that the owner of the magazine—Randy, was Marcella’s friend.
Tony had the answer.
Just like she predicted, the district attorney had gotten involved in it. Since Natalie had candidly spoken about the connections Rourke had, the issue was noted by the party members and had reached Washington D.C. The higher-ups in the party wanted this issue sorted out and the district attorney had acted against the law to investigate the magazine company and found out the connection with Randy.
"So, they can act this fast when it concerns them, huh?" Marcella scoffed. "Regular people who need help can’t have a swift justice..."
Tony sighed. He was one of the "they" his wife mentioned. She was one of "them" too. But she would never agree to it. He didn’t care about that. He only cared about her safety.
Theodore Jacob Harley, the majority party leader of the house of representatives was Tony’s major concern. Although their district had the opposition party representing them, Tony knew in D.C, all those higher-ups were chummy with each other and looked out for each other.
Certainly, Harley will be contacted by the opposite party to talk to Marcella to put a stop to everything. It would become a big issue if a prominent member of the government was found to be lending a helping hand to a child abuser.
Tony waited for that phone call. He knew he had to handle it. Marcella wouldn’t back off.
Having enmity toward Don DeAngelo, Harley had a hand in Don’s death. He wouldn’t like Marcella’s determination. He would use this chance to attack the DeAngelo family again.
"Remember what I said about Putrid Harley?" Tony reminded her. "He might jump on in this issue."
Marcella shrugged. She was not worried about herself. However, she had one great concern.
"You be careful, Tony," she hugged him.
