Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 106

Silence.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.

James put the jade pendant back on his neck and said with a sullen face.

"Get that security guard over here in twenty minutes."

Gabriela said okay and called the subordinate to transmit the order, then stepped aside.

The Dream Club wasn't far from the hospital, and fifteen minutes later, the guard arrived in sweat, greeting people in the ward with apprehension.

"Do you know why you are called here?"

James sat on the bed, fixing his sharp eyes on the security guard.

The security guard broke into a sweat because of his staring, and he swallowed and stuttered,

"No... I don't know."

"Did you pass on the nude photos of Angela?"

James stood up, and looked down at the security guard, who was half a head shorter than him with a gloomy glint at the bottom of his eyes.

Even if the security guard was senseless, he could see Mr. James, who was rumored to be on bad terms with Angela, was on her side.

He got gooseflesh by James’s questioning and his limbs went limp as he said in a hurry,

"No, no. When Angela was thrown out naked by you, we happened to be called out by our supervisor and were not in the monitoring room.

By the time we got back, the surveillance video had been deleted by Gabriela, and I didn't have time to take screenshots!"

Before James spoke, Gabriela walked up to him with the corners of her eyes slightly raised, "Then the nude photos of Angela..."

"That's not Angela!"

The guard was afraid of being blamed by James and interrupted her immediately.

James tugged at his collar and frowned slightly, "Hmm?"

"That... That was a nude image I downloaded from the internet and photoshopped it into the surveillance video."

The guard's body shook and said in a shivering voice with his head down.

"Everyone was talking about Angela and... many people asked me for the surveillance video at that time, and then I... I faked the photo."

He was afraid people would find out it was a fake, so he deliberately processed the face on the picture so that people wouldn't recognize that it wasn't Angela.

The bottom of James's eyes were bitingly cold. There was a faint smile on his face and hidden veins standing out on his neck, "You are so talented, and it is really a waste of talent to work as a security guard."

"No no. It's an honor to... work at the Dream Club, and many people envied me."

The guard treated him carefully.

James tightened his thin lips and cast a sidelong glance at him, his eyes seemingly bottomless.

The security guard was chilled by this glance, "Mr. James, I know I was wrong. Later I'll go back and tell the guys that the photo was a fake, and I'll definitely not let Angela take the blame."

"Give the list who asked you for the surveillance video to Gabriela."

James didn't take his words, but said abruptly with his eyes narrowed.

The guard nodded like a chicken pecking grains.

"Okay, that is all. Just go back."

Gabriela took a look at James's expression and said to the security guard.

The guard wiped the cold sweat from his head and almost trotted towards the door as if he was a survivor of a disaster.

“Wait!”|

Gabriela called out to him, smiling delicately, and her features were bright and beautiful. "Is it clear what you should and should not say?"

The guard nodded his head repeatedly and fawned,

"Those guys have no control over their mouths all day long, gossiping and spreading hearsay everywhere. I'll teach them a lesson when I get back and tell them to stop gossiping about what they shouldn't."

"All right, just do it."
