Soon, Juno asked one of his underlings to take a USB flash drive downstairs.
After that, Nathan requested for Juno to provide him a laptop, playing the footage immediately, upon receiving it.
The footage was about the cocktail party organized by the Chamber of Commerce of the West, which Zayn Cross had attended that night.
The hotel was crowded with many prominent figures in the city, who wore formal and graceful suits or dresses.
Since it was merely security footage, there were only images, without sound.
As Nathan fast-forwarded it to watch the footage, he noticed that many guests had greeted Zayn. Hence, it appeared that Zayn was highly-respected when the cocktail party had started.
Besides, there seemed to be nothing unusual about the cocktail party.
However, several prominent figures in the Chamber of Commerce of the West invited Zayn over, to a room, when the cocktail party was about to end.
Unfortunately, the security cameras failed to record the situation after Zayn had entered the private room.
After pausing the footage, Nathan pointed at it and asked Juno Packer coldly, "Why were there no security cameras after my dad and those from the Chamber of Commerce of the West had entered the private room?"
Juno sneered, "Well, as you know, those are the prominent figures in the Chamber of Commerce of the West. Everything they'd discussed in the private room was certainly trade secrets. Do you think they'd have wanted to have such a discussion, in a room full of security cameras?"
Nathan believed that Juno was telling the truth... There were no security cameras in the private room.
Therefore, he fast-forwarded the video and continued watching it.
After nearly an hour, Zayn finally came out of the private room. However, he seemed to be drunk-walking, appearing as if he would stumble,just about anytime.
Then, a man, with a mustache, wearing a suit, helped Zayn walk, traveling to the blind spot of the hotel's security cameras.
Not long after that, the crowd was panicked, as Zayn fell off from the building.
After watching the footage, Nathan took out the USB flash drive. He then glanced at Juno and murmured, "I have one last question. Who's that man with a mustache who'd helped my father to walk?"
