Chapter 316: Who Is He?

Erasmi’s exit left behind a cacophony of whispers as everyone started to discuss who this man was and how he had the power to summon the lofty commissioner.

Finally, someone who had been standing close to the commissioner quickly remembered what the commissioner had asked the man to do. Delete a video. Hopping on to their social media account, they quickly looked up at the trending topics. And there, at the last ranking topic was the name of their little town and police.

Like wildfire, the gossip spread among everyone as they quickly found out what had happened. As they watched, they could only shake their heads at the power of the internet and social media.

As Miss Marth returned, the boy who had first informed her of the goons quickly walked to her and showed her the multiple videos.

"See this, big mama. His name is Erasmi Frost. He is a big influencer. He shared the video of his car being attacked out of nowhere by those men followed by the live broadcast of Officer Hopkins insulting and threatening him."

Miss Martha frowned. She wasn’t sure she liked people who were influencers. From what she had seen, most of them were unethical and would do anything to get famous.

She could not help but review that man’s actions. Could it be that he had seen what had been happening and sensed an opportunity to gain more followers and fame? Maybe that is why he had challenged Hopkins.

If that was the case, she would need to ask that man to leave. She did not need any opportunistic people causing trouble here.

Jack, knowing that Big Mama was biased against influencers, quickly spoke up for the man," Big mama. This man is not like this. In fact, he is very different from the usual people."

"What do you mean? All influencers are scum."

"Not him. He is somewhat of a mental health influencer. Actually, no one has ever seen his face. He rose to popularity about a year ago because of the way he has been helping people."

Jack showed the previous updates where Erasmi had shared how he’d lived in a semi- vegetative state for a decade and returned to the land of living just as suddenly as he had slipped into a coma.

Jack detailed how the man shared his experiences and helped other people to talk about recovering from long term diseased and how to settle back among the living.

Taking the phone from Jack, Miss Martha quickly started reading through the posts the man had made, some were sad as he talked about all the technological changes since he woke up. Some were funny as he described his instances on learning the technology and interacting again with people. And some were heart wrenching as he detailed his struggle with recovering and having episodes of paralysis even now and how his family had almost given up on him except his twin."

The morning turned to afternoon and Miss Martha finally put down the phone with a vow to help the poor young man rest well. He’d been talking about taking a break and roaming around to finally relax and experience what he had missed out all these years.

On the other side, Gabriel returned to the Frost Brothers with a devastated expression. He had already searched high and low for Arabelle and the next step that he might have to take was one that would surely destroy him.

Two years ago, he had been prepared for this plan B if his efforts to handle Arabelle failed. But all their efforts had been successful for the past eighteen months. And the tumor that had been discovered as the reason for her split personality had also been located and gotten rid of. She’d been going back to her old self with less need to depend on hypnosis.

And now everything had gone down the drain. He had been willing to bury his head in the sand for her and play the fool. But he was not willing to bet his family’s life on this.

As he marched into the office, he threw the file on the table and took a seat. "This is our next course of action. Take it and know what to expect."

None of the Frost brothers picked up the file but only looked at their brother with concern.

"Gabe. Don’t worry. Even if her mother has taken her away, maybe the previous treatments will stay in effect." Seb consoled his brother carefully.

Ian nodded along," Yes. You know that the gaps between the hypnosis were getting longer. You said so yourself."

Gabe looked at the brothers gratefully before shaking his head," I’ve been a fool too long. You guys can call me that to my face. I’ve recently discovered a cell phone buried a little further away on the edge of my property. The phone was stolen from an employee a while ago..."

The implications of the words were clear. So, it was a possibility that Arabelle might have been planning this and she was the one who had informed her mother of the right opportunity.

Without a word, Ian picked up the file, while Seb and Lucien leaned closer to lean together. After reading the contents together, Seb snatched the file out of Ian’s hand and threw it on the table," Gabe Frost! You are right! You are a fool! And so would we be if we agree with your plan!"

Even Lucien who was always the patient one stood up," Gabe, we’ve kept our thoughts to ourselves regarding your decision to be with Arabelle even though we could see you were setting yourself up for unlimited pain. It was because we respected you and your choices. But this is not just self-pain! Your plan B is a suicide mission!"

Gabe opened his mouth to protest but was cut off by Demetri who spoke up," Gabe. We are not going to agree with this. And considering how stubborn you can be, we will apologize in advance."

Gabe stilled. What did they mean. Not giving him a chance to protest, Demetri nodded at someone... and in the next instant, Gabe had lost consciousness while Demetri ordered coldly to Ian," Keep an eye on him all of you. He’s not going to be happy when he wakes up and finds himself in a house arrest."

The other three nodded with determined expressions. Sorry Gabe. It was for your own good.
