Brett got kidnapped, which is orchistrated by the French boy's fam(? not sure with this) and got SA'd/raped as like a revenge.

it's not the French boy's family but the politician's family. they did it as a means of blackmail and revenge. Both to stop Brett from testifying and to punish him for testifying for the other side. also, the father is pissed about losing the last election and figures Brett had something to do with the bullying videos being spread on social media.
for the next chap. Im sad for both of them. I wonder if Brett's family will retaliate since they are of high status as well and isn't Brett like their precious heir?
Got me thinking too if Hayden will feel powerless to avenge Brett because he'll be up against a prominent family.
