Chapter 502 The Secret Storage

The truth was, Tom Parker would not just watch videos. But he would satisfy his own desires through watching these.

No matter how hard Veronica tried to cover her ears, there were still echoes of sound that she could not easily dismiss. At that moment, she just wanted to pierce her eardrums with her fingers so that she could not hear him at all.

As Tom got intoxicated from the video he was watching, someone from the outside suddenly called him. It was Sarah's voice. She was coming towards the study as she called his name, "Tom?"

Tom was startled and immediately stuffed the flash drive into the pocket of his pajamas. He then opened the company information on the computer as a guide.

The study door opened and Sarah came in. She stared suspiciously at Tom's every move, walked up to him, and asked, "What are you doing here at this time?" Then her line of sight fell on the computer screen.

Tom pointed to the file on the screen a little wearily and said, "After waking up in the middle of my sleep, I couldn't get myself to fall asleep again. So I just came here to work. Hasn't the company just started? We should also look at some contracts."

Sarah was skeptical and asked him, "Are you really here to work?"

Tom smiled helplessly as he replied, "Didn't I just said that? What else would I do here aside from work?"

Sarah did suspect him.

Although she doubted Tom in the past and was skeptical, she was still willing to believe him deep inside her heart. Until the landlady appeared, she had all kinds of mistrust issues with Tom.

Even if Tom had all kinds of guarantees and all her money was there, she could not make the shadow of a doubt go away that easily.

Sarah said, "Give me your cell phone."

Tom replied, "My phone is in the room." Then he stood and hugged Sarah's shoulder as he tried to coax her, "You really can't live without me all day, can you? You don't even have a sense of security when I'm not beside you in your sleep. Come on, let's go back to the room together."

Without a cell phone, it meant that Tom didn't call any dirty woman behind her back, so she believed what he said.

They left the study together.

As soon as the light was turned off, the taut nerves of Veronica in the dark were loosened. She finally was able to breathe normally after that tense moment.

She was scared her to death!

Both Tom and Sarah made her afraid to breathe while she was hiding in the corner.

Thinking about this, she felt sad for Sarah. She had been looking for Tom tirelessly all day, while Tom was watching that kind of thing when they were supposed to be resting already.

The young Tom Parker was extremely good-looking. Now that he was in his forties, he could still dress up and make some people believe that he was under forty years old.

In fact, if one would only look at the outside, one could say they had good luck and happy life. But if one would see past through façade outside, what was inside was bad luck.

Sarah belonged to the latter.

Veronica turned on the cell phone lighting and fumbled to the computer.

She didn't have to worry about Tom coming back. Sarah had tripped him, so he wouldn't have the time, or the guts to come back.

Veronica turned the computer on and searched again. But she still couldn't find it.

She thought, 'That's weird. Tom saw it just now.

Then Veronica's eyes swept to the bookshelf.

She remembered that when Tom came in, he didn't go to the desk but went for the bookshelf first.

At first, she thought Tom would go to the bookshelf because he found him, but now it's not at all.

Veronica got up and walked to the shelf where the books had obviously been moved.

Veronica sorted out her thoughts and immediately figured it out.

Tom's video was neither on the phone nor the computer. It was on a storage disk.

He hid the storage tray in the book without anyone knowing it.

Obviously, the storage disk was not returned to its place in the book. Therefore, it is only possible that this storage disk was hidden in his body and was taken back to the room by him.

Veronica glanced at the bookshelf and wondered if Tom would put the storage disk back in its hiding place.

But even if he didn't put it back in place, now that she knew where the video was hidden, it would be easier to find it the next time she had the chance.
