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.
