Chapter 299 The Photos That Shouldn’t Exist

Zoey stood outside the window and took several more photos. Only after that did she turn and leave, feeling pleased with herself.
The smug look on her face said it all.
She opened Alfred’s WhatsApp profile and sent every photo she had taken. Not a single one was left out.
But she couldn’t send the photo across. That was when Zoey remembered-Alfred had blocked her long ago.
The thought made her hatred for Nella grow even stronger.
Unwilling to give up, Zoey switched to another number and called Alfred. The phone rang for a long time. No one answered.
After a moment of thought, she changed plans. She sent the photos of Nella to Archie, Ryan, and a few others instead.
Emerald Vista Bay.
All the dishes they had ordered were already on the table.
Yet no one dared to start eating. Everyone was watching Alfred’s expression.
“Why are you all staring at me?” Alfred said calmly as he swept his “Aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry?”
gaze around the
group.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m starving,” Ryan said quickly. “Let’s eat while it’s hot.”
He picked up his fork.
At the same moment, both his phone and Archie’s phone rang.
The two of them picked up their phones at the same time.
“Ahhh!!!”
Ryan suddenly let out a sharp scream, like a startled animal. Everyone in the room jumped.
“What is wrong with you?” Claire snapped, smacking his back.
“Why are you shouting like that?”

Archie was also staring at his phone in shock.

He seemed to realize something and looked at Ryan.
Their eyes met. Without saying a word, they understood each other.

Both of them quickly locked their screens and placed their phones face down on the table.
“I-It’s nothing,” Ryan said fast. “A celebrity I like got into a scandal.”
He tried to brush it off.
Claire shot him an annoyed look.
“You like a female celebrity? Let me see which one made you react like that.”
She reached for his phone.
“Don’t-don’t look, honey,” Ryan said nervously, trying to block her. “There’s nothing worth seeing.”
Claire glared at him hard.
Ryan immediately pulled his hand back and stayed quiet.
Claire picked up his phone anyway. WhatsApp was still open. The first thing she saw was the photos Zoey had sent.
From different angles, the pictures showed Nella laughing and speaking with a strange man.
Some shots were clearly taken on purpose, making them look close and intimate.
Again, Zoey. That troublemaker never stopped.
Claire cursed silently. She was about to put the phone down when a voice message from Zoey came in.
Her finger slipped. The message started playing.
“Nella is being so intimate with this man. You really want to keep Alfred in the dark?”
Claire tried to stop it, but it was already too late.
The room, which had already been quiet, fell into a heavy silence that felt suffocating.
No one dared to breathe. The air itself seemed thinner.

“Dammit,” Ryan muttered. “My sports car is gone.”
Claire punched him hard.
At a time like this, he was still thinking about a car.
Claire carefully glanced at Alfred.
I’m sorry, Nella. I’ve really messed things up.
If only I hadn’t opened that idiot’s phone.
