Chapter 51
“And then?” Leo asked.
“Then they fell to the ground together,” Lea answered.
“They fell?”
“Yes, but Paul tripped first, and Megan ended up falling on top of him. Then he sat up, and then….
Hmm!”
The more Mr. Morgan listened, the more peculiar Lea’s description seemed to him. He swiftly covered his daughter’s mouth, putting on a deliberate expression of anger, and pretended to be stern. “Is this something a child should be watching? Don’t say another word!”
Lea, feeling a sense of injustice, retorted, “Then, can adults watch it?”
Mr. Morgan said, “No one should be watching it! Anyway, you can’t tell anyone about this in the future, understand?”
Leo’s face turned as dark as thunderclouds, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists. His gaze shifted towards Megan and Paul, who were leisurely strolling away, and his eyes brimmed with seething sarcasm.
Sensing the escalating tension, Mr. Morgan swiftly scooped up his daughter and made a hasty retreat. The onlookers recognized the dangerous aura emanating from Leo, prompting them to walk away in a hurry.
Unfortunately, the staff member assigned to Leo’s service was caught in a predicament.
Bound by his duty to cater to the VIP, the staff member couldn’t abandon his post, yet the fear of remaining in Leo’s presence caused him to stand there nervously.
“Excuse me?”
The staff member lowered his head and looked at his shoes, not daring to say anything.
“Excuse me!” Leo shouted, “I’m calling you.”
The staff member smiled cautiously and asked, “What can I do for you, Mr. Mayor…”
“Where is the monitoring room?”
“Ah…”
“Am I speaking English?”
Oh, oh, oh, I see. I’ll take you there now.
The golf course was covered with surveillance cameras, and the monitoring room nestled in the
Chanter 51N
farthest corner of the staff hall near the entrance.

The staff escorted Leo to the monitoring room, where an array of surveillance terminals covered. the walls. He instructed them, “Locate the surveillance footage of the location Lea mentioned
earlier.”
The staff member nodded and trotted to tell his colleagues in the monitoring room.
His colleague promptly retrieved the surveillance footage, but to their disappointment, the events took place within the confines of the changing room, which lacked any surveillance cameras. As a result, they could only observe the area indirectly through a surveillance camera positioned in the corridor just outside.
The image captured by the surveillance camera was relatively clear, although only half of the scene. inside the changing room was visible.
Fortunately, the door of the locker room was wide open at that time, allowing them to catch a glimpse of Paul and Megan.
Initially, everything appeared to be normal, with Megan holding several sets of sportswear in her hand, seemingly helping Paul choose. However, as he tried on the different outfits one by one, it
became apparent that none of the sizes were fitting correctly.
She asked him a few questions, but he scratched his head in embarrassment and shrugged to show
that he didn’t know.
Hence, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him. However, it was obvious that she was not hugging him. She was simply measuring his size.
Then, in the lower right corner of the video, a little girl in pink appeared and turned to look inside.
It didn’t take long for Megan to finish measuring Paul’s size, and then she went to get him some new clothes. This time, he put on the right size and felt much more comfortable. He gave her a thumbs-up.
Megan stood next to him with a few pieces of sportswear that he had taken off and looked at him.
with a smile.
Just at that moment, it appeared that the changing room floor had been recently mopped, making it slightly wet and slippery. When Paul turned around, he lost his balance and staggered, unable to
maintain his footing. Megan instinctively reached out to catch him, but given her strength and weight, she couldn’t effectively pull him back.
As a result, they both tumbled to the ground. Paul ended up lying on the floor, while Megan fell on top of him.
