Chapter 19 Within 30 Minutes
The housekeeper had been on duty already before Thalia even arrived at Crestfall Group.
Everyone in the office knew that Alden had always been indifferent toward Thalia, who had always tolerated it and never once contradicted him. Even when they had different opinions on a project, she would always be willing to compromise afterward.
What was going on today?
“Ms. Marquette, are you alright?” the housekeeper asked cautiously.
Thalia curved her lips into a smile. “I’m fine. Please continue with your work. Please disinfect the area on the couch thoroughly and take out the trash when you leave.”
The housekeeper was stunned. Was Thalia disgusted by where Alden had sat?

It had been over an hour now.
What exactly was Thalia doing?
“Put it down and get out.” Alden tugged at his collar with suppressed anger.
Quentin sensed his bad mood and feared causing any trouble, so he quickly placed the documents in front of him and turned around to leave in a hurry.
“Wait.” Alden stopped him.

She took out her phone and played the recording she secretly took earlier.
She hadn’t wanted to resort to this. However, she worried that the divorce proceedings would take an unexpected turn, so she could only gather evidence of Alden’s infidelity first, just in case it came in handy.
Henrietta called her at the moment.
