They’re good, I’ll give them that!
Without obtaining the inside story, it was impossible to find out the truth. Even after knowing the inside story, it was difficult to convict Hector. After all, all of this looked to be reasonable transactions.
My head spun slightly. Even if I relayed this information to Louis, there was no way to directly identify Cameron’s involvement in this.
Seeing the conflict lining my features, Stacey suggested after some hesitation, “You can try starting with Savini. He’s not as loyal to Cameron as he seems. Besides, there seems to be a third-party intervention in this matter. If I’m not wrong, someone wants to take Cameron down.”
“A third party?” My curiosity was piqued. “Who else did Cameron offend?”
She shrugged and replied, “I’m not too sure, but I recently discovered that someone dug up videos of Cameron rising to her position when she was young. In fact, there were quite a number of people involved. By the way, Hector’s wife should be a good approach in this matter. Even though we can’t trace any money transactions, you may be able to discover sexual transactions.”
I nodded and kept all the documents she handed to me. “Thank you for doing this,” I expressed my gratitude.
She smiled and took a sip of her coffee. “Don’t mention it. You helped me deal with Felix, so this is the least I could do.”
Since she put it that way, there was no reason for me to contradict. After exchanging some simple pleasantries, she excused herself.
It was quite late by the time I returned to the villa. Hence, I was surprised to see an unwanted guest.
Rebecca and Sally were seated in the living room, engaged in a friendly conversation.
Upon spotting me, Sally smiled and waved to me. “Letty, you’re back. Ms. Larson and I were just talking about you!”
I frowned. Her words sounded so pretentious they raked on my insides.
Rebecca was in a white cotton dress with her hair pulled up into a ponytail, looking every bit like a youthful and sultry woman.
Catching sight of me, she smirked lightly. “Scarlett, you’re back. It’s cold outside. Come on over and have some tea with us.”
I remained expressionless with only my slightly pursed lips as an indication of my displeasure. “No, thanks. You two don’t mind me. I’m going up to rest now.”
“Letty, don’t go just yet. Come here and sit with us for a while. I’ve been so busy with the White family matters all these years that I didn’t have the time to sit down and have a nice chat with anyone. Since everyone’s here today, you should join in too!” Sometimes, I really envied Sally’s ability to put up such a flawless and natural act.
Unable to refute her indisputable reasoning, I went to the living room and took a seat.
Sally brew some tea while Rebecca had a faint smile on her face. At a glance, we portrayed an uncannily harmonious scene.
The three of us looked like we had always been close friends, but of course, we knew better.
