Chapter 198: Salt On Wound
Sidney went silent for a while. Superficially, this would seem like a great deal. A recently single mother with a young daughter getting protection and financial aid from government agencies should be an attractive deal.
But Sidney knew that there should be more to it considering that Rory is the one bringing it up after threatening to sue her for slander.
"What’s the catch?" Sidney raised her brows and wetted her lips.
Rory smiled and passed her a bottle of water seeing that she was stressed. Sidney waved her hand. With a sigh, Rory leaned back in her seat.
"Sign an NDA. Don’t make it public. Let’s stop talking about him. Let the name Lennon Roberts get forgotten forever as he rots in hell," Rory clenched her jaws.
She had a feeling that Lennon Roberts is enjoying all the attention on him. Getting compared to Ted Bundy is not going to humiliate him. He’s going to find that heroic. She wanted Lennon Roberts’ name to be redacted from every document, and his face erased from every record.
Seriously, what could be achieved by remembering the name of Lennon Roberts? More copycats? No, that’s not needed! So, what if some people will be denied studying the mind of one psychopath? They can survive.
No one should remember the name, Lennon Roberts. A modern day damnatio memoriae. He deserves to be forgotten. He should not allow enjoying the attention he is getting. He deserves to rot in the dungeons like the beast he is.
Only those who were affected by him, only those innocent women should be remembered and grieved. And their names cannot be pronounced in the same sentence as Lennon Roberts. They cannot be remembered to be the prey of that monster.
They should be remembered for who they were, who they ought to be, and who they aspired to be. They should be remembered for the person they were denied becoming because of a monster.
Never as helpless victims, but as little buds who were plucked before their time just because a monster was restless.
"You want to earn all the money, don’t you?" Sidney leaned forward gritting her teeth. "I am your competition, and you want me out of your way, don’t you? Witch! You truly are a witch! Oh, I can understand why your kind was burnt at the stake in the past. Your entire being... It’s so rotten!"
