Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376 Investigation

As Hayley lay on the bed, her mind was being tortured with every passing second. She imagined how Anastasia was probably inseparable from Elliot right now, and perhaps by the time she rushed back, an engagement would already be in the talks.

Hayley counted down the days as she suffered terribly.

Back at home, there had been multiple ownership changes at Abyss Club, and tonight, Rey asked for a meeting with its current owner. When the owner heard that he would be paid two million in exchange for the CCTV recordings from five years ago, he was stunned. “The recordings from five years back have disappeared a long time ago, though.”

“Why is that so?” Rey asked.

“Just a few months ago, there was a fire at my storehouse, and suddenly all the data stored in the server room were burned to ashes,” said the owner. He was also perplexed as he continued, “It seemed like some sort of circuit problem.”

“Have you reported it to the police?”

“The firemen did come over to put out the fire. I didn’t lose much except for those data, so if you’re looking for recordings from five years ago, they’re definitely gone.”

Suspicion flashed across the depths of Rey’s eyes. There were too many coincidences; why was the server room the only place to catch fire?

It hadn’t been too long since this new owner took over the place, so he definitely knew nothing about the incidents that happened five years ago.

Then, Rey found the manager and gave her a hundred thousand, asking her to make a list of all the veteran employees who had worked at the club for more than five years.

The manager soon found more than ten people who matched the requirements, but she had only worked here for three years, so when Rey asked her about the server room, the manager immediately said, “We rarely go there, and the security team is in charge of guarding it.”

The manager circled a few names. “These are the security guards who have worked here the longest. All of them have been working here for more than five years.”

Rey also got a list of the employees who quit after the fire. The manager saw that he was handsome and generous with money, so she gave him all the information he needed.

In the end, Rey locked onto a target—it was a security guard who had quit after the fire.

He quit only three days after the fire happened, so Rey suspected that someone had bribed him to set the place on fire before he quit his job. Hence, Rey believed that he’d be able to get some information from the guard.
