The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 677

"Dr. Hayes?" Julian's voice pulled me back to reality, making me realize I had been completely lost in my own thoughts.

I looked at him, feeling a bit awkward. "Sorry, I spaced out."

"It's fine. Here, this is for you." Julian handed me a flash drive. "This contains the evidence I got. It's enough to prove the Thorne Family was involved in that kidnapping case."

I was surprised and thrilled that he knew I wanted this, and I looked up at him in astonishment.

He just smiled easily. "When you asked me to investigate the Thorne Family's shipment in Mistwood Bay, I figured it out. You and Leon had the same thought—you both suspected the Thorne Family was behind the kidnapping, so I specifically kept an eye out for this."

He paused for a second and added, "Actually, Grant helped me get this evidence. If you want to thank anyone, you should thank him."

"I need to thank you, too." I took the flash drive, my voice trembling with excitement.

"There's no need to be so polite with me. You handed me such a massive news scoop, I should be the one thanking you," Julian waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, I won't be overly polite then. Let's grab dinner again soon. Good night." I didn't say much more.

Truthfully, I wasn't just excited; I was desperate to see what was on that flash drive.

I quickly pulled up the files. The video quality on the laptop was blurry, and the camera angle was low, but I could hear the audio crystal clear.

Grant spoke first: "I heard the boss made a move on the Sterling heir's woman? Isn't he afraid of pissing off the old man Sterling? That's his most valued son."

"He didn't touch the heir, just his woman. We got what we wanted—the shipment is in our hands. And the old man Sterling can't exactly declare war on the boss. After all, the heir himself wasn't harmed. It's not worth going to war over something so trivial." The other voice sounded incredibly slick.
