Standing Right Next To You Chapter 80

"What club?" Wade looked at Stacy with his brows arched.
'If she went out last night then Nana must have gone along with her. Did he see her?' He observed Reuben to find any clue.
"Yea, Wayne and I saw Stacy with her friends last night at Tremor." Reuben said because Wade was out of town last night, so he did not know that they had met earlier.
"Oh, by the way, are we spying on the woman you were with last night?" Reuben asked curiously and looked at Stacy.
"Who are you talking about? I was there with two women." The clueless Stacy asked without any hesitation.
Wayne instantly froze when he heard her saying this.
'Did Reuben see Nana last night?' He waited for Reuben to answer Stacy.
"The one who wore shorts and looked like a biker chick." Reuben clarified and Wayne secretly took a sigh of relief.
"Yes! That's the one we are stalking!" Wayne happily shared and bobbed his head like a chicken pecking.
"How did you know that?" Stacy asked in surprise.
"Because you two were sitting too close to each other and the other woman sat opposite you two. So I guessed." He explained his deductions and received a nod from them.
'I remember seeing that biker woman sniffing Insolent girl's hair! Is Stacy's girlfriend cheating on her with insolent girl?' This thought suddenly exploded in his mind and spun around like a whirlwind.
'Is that why she did not look at me twice and just walked away from me?' He was still pissed at her behavior and this gave him a perfect explanation for why she acted that way.
"Now that we are talking about the club, I wanted to talk to you about something important." Wayne looked at Reuben seriously and dragged him out of his reverie.
"What is it?" He focused on his friend's serious face.
'I rarely ever see him with such a grim expression. Did something happen?' Reuben wondered.
"I need to see the club's CCTV footage from last night." He directly told what he needed and saw Reuben's perplexed face.
'Why would Wayne ask him that?' Stacy was confused and she felt Wade lean in towards her.
"Reuben owns the club that you went to last night." He filled her in and her confusion faded.
"But why?" She still did not know why Wayne would want the CCTV footage.

She looked at Wade and he too shook his head indicating that he had no idea why his brother had asked for it.
"May I ask why?" Reuben questioned Wayne and saw him mull over something.
"Someone messed with Stacy's friend last night. She told me that she felt extremely uncomfortable and I just wanted to know who these guys were that dared to cause trouble in your club." They heard Wayne speak in a somber tone.
Wayne did not disclose Lina's real identity, but he knew that it would be tough to get those recordings without Reuben's okay, so he vaguely told him about why he needs it.
'Is he talking about Insolent girl?' Reuben stared at him silently.
"What?" Wade and Stacy both cried out at the same time and glared at Wayne.
"Why didn't she tell me anything!?" Stacy asked while struggling to control her anger and Wade just clenched his fists because he did not want to attract Reuben's attention.
"You were sleeping because of your hangover." Wayne patted on her shoulder asking her to calm down.
"Do you mind telling us what happened?" Wade spoke while trying his best to sound calm.
Having been left with no other choice, Wayne retold everything that Lina had told him regarding the two men that creeped her out.
"Is she fine now?" Wade asked worriedly and Wayne pressed his shoulders and nodded.
'That is why I don't let her go out alone!' He stared at Stacy but when he saw her guilt-ridden face, he softened his expression.
"You didn't know that something like this would happen. It wasn't your fault so stop blaming yourself." He whispered in her ears and she looked up at him with a sad smile.
'It may not be my fault but I left her alone because I was busy with Aya!' She hid this thought in her heart and cursed herself for not looking out for her little sister.
"Was it the other woman who was with Stacy? The one in that violet backless dress?" Reuben inquired and Wayne nodded.
'So he saw her last night!' Wayne gritted his teeth.
'Backless dress? Is that the one she made me buy for her?' Wade grimaced thinking of the men who might have ogled at her in that dress and one of those men was right in front of them.
"Remember how I ran out last night?" Reuben faced Wayne and asked.

Wayne just nodded his head in answer and waited for him to continue.
"It was because I saw what had happened to her." Reuben announced and the three stared at him with their eyes wide open.
Reuben then told them of how he saw them following her and about the three men's conversation that he had overheard at the restroom.
"I asked my guards to detain them and get information out of them." He continued.
'I better not tell Stacy about the conversation I had with Insolent girl.' He decided and moved forward with what he had found.
"As it turns out, those men were a part of Blind Eagle gang." He said in a grave tone and the twins gasped collectively.
"What's the Blind Eagle gang?" Stacy asked because she had heard of that name for the very first time.
"They are a new gang that emerged in recent years and are wanted for many major crimes in the city." Wade explained as his eyes darkened.
"But they are mostly known for their human trafficking and prostitution rackets." Wayne spat those words out which made the nerves on his forehead to pop.
Stacy was aghast when she heard this and looked at Reuben with her eyes glowing.
"When can we get that footage?" She asked and her fury was noticeable to everyone present.
'She really cares for her friends, I better help her out!' Reuben smiled at her then he searched and showed her the footage on his phone.
"Thanks, man. I'll take care of this from here." Wayne sent himself a copy of the video and passed the phone back to him.
"I don't think that would be necessary." Reuben took his phone and informed Wayne.
"Why not?" He heard three voices snap at him.
"Because I've already taken care of them." He gave a meaningful look at the brothers and the anger in their eyes transformed into wariness.
"Why did you do that when you don't even know her?" Wade interrogated him with his eyes narrowed.
"Duh! That's one of my businesses and I don't want any police investigations shutting it down if something like this happened again." Reuben shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and their intense glares eased up.
"Hmmm… True." Wayne found his reason plausible and did not bother about it any further.
'Phew! They believed it!' Reuben breathed out a sigh of relief.
"She's out!" They heard Stacy yell and everyone looked at what she was pointing at.
They saw a big group of people coming outside.
The old men walked forward followed by a couple of middle-aged men and lastly, the youngsters followed.
They spoke cheerfully and it looked like they were having fun even while walking to the parking lot.
"Look, your girlfriend is here!" Reuben pointed at the trio that walked out hand in hand.
Stacy looked at Lina in the middle with Aya and another man on either side, walking together as they laughed.
"I don't think she is cheating, why would she meet up in such a large group if she was?" Reuben reasoned and everyone else nodded.
They saw as the group separated and went to their own cars.
Old man Oswald and Stuart walked together and left first, followed by Aya and her family.
Aya hugged Lina and Julia and waved at the others before she left. Lina then gave Nao a noogie and saw him tickle Lina till she admitted defeat.
Then Irene and Ivan left together and Reuben raised his eyebrows looking at that scene.
'Date, my foot! See how he left her alone and went away with another woman!' He looked back at Insolent girl and saw that she was hugging a huge built man.
They separated and she hugged the other two before she sat in her car and slowly drove away.
"So she wasn't cheating after all!" Wayne said and smiled at Reuben and Stacy.
"I told you!" Stacy played along and pouted at him.
"Okay, it's getting late. We better leave!" Wade pointed at his watch and looked at Reuben.
Getting the hint from Wade, Reuben bid goodbye to his friends and new sister and got out of the car.
The moment he shut the door, Wade stepped on the gas and hurriedly drove away.
"What's gotten into them?" He looked at the car that was speeding away and shook his head.
Then he turned and walked back to his car.
'But why was insolent girl and Stacy's girlfriend with Obsidia's employees?'
He had recognized Old man Oswald because his grandfather and Oswald Wren were good friends.
But there was no one there to answer his questions so he left with his head filled with unanswered doubts.
