Chapter 501 A Hidden Video
Chapter 501 A Hidden Video
"Forget it. Go back home and rest early. Let's just have dinner next time." The director was in a panic when he remembered what was at stake while he was waiting.
Of course, he knew about the relationship between Veronica Parker and the head of the KING Group.
If the powerful and ruthless Mr. Cage found out that his woman was being taken to the bar, wouldn't he disappear from the capital in a fit of his anger?
Unexpectedly for Veronica, her director suddenly changed his mind. But she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and simply replied, "Okay."
She said hello to her colleagues before she went back alone.
Meanwhile, back at Tom Parker's villa.
In the middle of the night, the Sunshine villa was silent.
Veronica already knew the password, and although she couldn't wait to go to the study, she knew she had to wait for a while. It was still early and she could only carry out her plan by 02:00 AM.
Veronica had gone to bed when he got home. But when the alarm went off at 2:00 AM, she woke up and crept inside his study.
She turned the computer on, entered the password, unlocked it, and started looking for the video in it. She didn't let go of any file folders on the computer.
While she was opening every file folder to find the video, she also kept a watchful eye on the outside at the same time.
Even though it was 2:00 in the morning, she knew she'd better make sure than be sorry.
However, after Veronica had opened every file folder in the computer, from left to right and from top to bottom, she did not find any video about Isabella.
There were only some promotional videos from the company.
She thought, 'I worked hard for several days, but it wasn't in this computer!'
After some careful thinking, it was not surprising for Veronica to figure it out.
The management and business of Tom Parker in the company must be transparent in front of Sarah North. If he had put the video on the computer, it would only be like a waiting invitation for Sarah to see and discover. And once she saw it, she wouldn't let Tom have a good life.
Thus, he created a password against outsiders and had hidden the video from Sarah.
'If it's not in the computer, it's even less likely to be in his phone.'
'So, where will the video be hidden?'
Veronica was thinking hard when she heard footsteps from the outside. Panic crept towards her as the sound of the footsteps was getting louder. From the sound of it, she could tell that whoever it was, someone was about to get inside the study at any moment.
Veronica's facial expression changed as she hurriedly turned the computer off and closed it.
Suddenly, the door of the study had been pushed open by someone outside. Tom came in, closed the door, turned around, and walked towards the bookshelf.
Meanwhile, Veronica, who had hidden in the innermost corner of the bookshelf, had her body cuddled too close to the wall that she was too scared to breathe.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer to her side. And as Veronica's body was huddled in the corner, she was eager to come out through the wall right there and then.
Could Tom know she was hiding here?
Just when she thought she would be discovered from where she was hiding, the footsteps stopped just a corner away from her position.
In fact, Tom was already too close that if he took a little more step, he could see Veronica hiding in the corner.
Not long after, Veronica heard the sound of a book being flipped. Then she heard the sound of footsteps getting farther away from her.
Following the sound of disappearing footsteps, she heard the chair creaked. Tom had taken his seat.
Veronica didn't know what Tom wanted to do. What would he do in the study at this unlikely hour?
However, as this thought occurred to her, her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the voices of Tom and Isabella. It made Veronica pale.
It was the video she was trying to find!
'Is it on the computer? How is that possible? I had looked for it carefully!'
The sound was low, but it could be heard clearly in the stillness of the night.
Veronica listened to Isabella's screams and covered her ears in pain.
This disgusting Tom Parker disrupted his rest in the middle of the night just to come here and see this kind of thing?'
'No wonder he was so sneaky!'
'Isabella was dead, but I wouldn't let your secret be safely buried to the ground! I would not let myself suffer from such insult.'
'Would the viewers who keep this kind of video come out at night all the time and then delete the video in the end? Absolutely impossible!'
When Veronica heard his voice again, her inner hatred for him only intensified.
