Stanford clicked on the surveillance device to check if it had been used by someone. He thought for a
moment and checked the surveillance footage of the day when he proposed divorce and also the day
when something happened with Amanda. He adjusted the time and clicked to view it. However, the
video on that day was gone.
Obviously it had been removed by someone.
He thought, ‘The person who gave me the flash drive should have done it.’ He should have thought that
her parents shouldn’t have been so calm. If she had really died, he wouldn’t have survived until now.
There was no evidence at all, and it was based on his speculation. He was sure that Simona and
Amanda were the same person.
The more certain he was, the more he felt scared.
He was afraid of how he was going to face it when the truth came out.
As he thought that she would never love him truly, he was extremely heartbroken.
He moved his mouse to turn off the device, but accidentally clicked on the browsing history. There was
a record which someone had watched what he had just viewed a short time ago.
Who was the person?
Suddenly he squinted. Had someone been here?
Since the house had been cleaned, there was no traces at all.
He looked up the time on the browsing history and soon he saw the person who walked in through the
surveillance camera.
His hands shivered when he saw the woman’s face clearly.
It was her! It was really her!
She …wasn’t dead, she was back.
He was stunned as he stared at the video screen which she opened the door and entered the house.
She remembered the password and knew everything in the house.
Her gaze …
His hands that placed on the table clenched tightly.
He couldn’t suppress the indescribable emotions in his heart.
Squeak.
In the video, she was pushing the door open. Her every move and even a light sound could be heard
clearly because it was too quiet.
He could see that she was also checking what happened that day through the surveillance device.
Soon she found out that only the footage which she was being taken away was missing.
As she wanted to leave, she accidentally dropped a book.
That book was something Stanford was familiar with.
He watched every change in her expression when she saw the pictures in the book. At first, she looked
surprised and instantly her expression changed as she understood his hatred towards her.
At this moment, she was extremely sad.
She fell into the chair and muttered to herself, but every word was clearly heard by Stanford.
“Stanford, you’ve deceived me so much. Why I’m so stupid to trust you and even want to have a child
with you?”
She couldn’t hold back the tears. The tears rolled down slowly, “I’ve lived with you for three years. Don’t
you know about me? Do you know Boyce and I almost died in that car accident too? How can you think
that we’ve harmed your mother?”
She placed her hand over her heart and was unable to calm down herself. She felt hurt as he didn’t
understand her at all and even imagined her to be a vicious person. Her pain, her remorse, and every
word she said replayed in front of Stanford.
Once it was Amanda sitting here and crying desperately.
But now, it was his turn.
He just sat in front of desk motionless and watched the video over and over again.
After a long while…
He took his phone to call Atwood and asked him to look into the car accident that happened last time.
He must find out what was going on in the car accident that year.
What exactly caused that car accident?
On the other end, Atwood was surprised as why he wanted to investigate something which had
occurred so long ago. After all, the car accident was caused by the Nelson family.
His mother had also died in that car accident.
What was the point to investigate it?
“Investigate all the ins and outs clearly. You don’t need to worry about the company’s affairs during this
period, just investigate this matter.”
He replied, “Okay.”
Even though he was curious, he didn’t ask.
After hanging up the phone, he put down his phone, stood up and walked towards the window.
From dawn to dusk…
He had no idea how long the time had gone as he forgot it totally.
The vast night sky was full of stars.
He stared out of the window alone. As meteor streaked across the night sky, he reached out his hand
and wanted to catch the falling stars with the look of her bright smile engraved in his mind.
But how can one keep a falling star?
Tears blurred his vision, and she would never smile at him.
Stanford stayed at the villa for two days and two nights without seeing anyone and attending to the
business affairs.
Until the third day, he appeared at the office.
It was still the same indifferent look.
No one knew how he had spent the past two days and what he had experienced.
The car stopped in front of the office.
He pushed the door open and got out of the car. He looked fine with his black suit and cleaned face.
He was about to walk towards the building when another car came from the parking space next to him.
Casimir lowered the window and smiled at him when he saw Stanford, “Mr. James.”
The clarification of the news had done and had come to rest.
Thus, he was in a good mood.
The way he looked at Stanford was somewhat smug.
On the contrary, Stanford looked indifferent. He ignored his words, but his gaze fell on the woman who
pushed the door open and came down behind him.
His hands started to clench tightly.
