When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 2301

Chapter 2301

“Soon after, we found out that Nikki had been lying to us all along and that Terry was misunderstood.
“Because of this, Luke felt guilty that he acted out of impulse instead of trying to understand what truly happened first, so he sent some of his men to Terry’s house with a doctor, hoping they’d be able to salvage the situation before it was too late.
“However, when they got there, they ran into Sean, who was kicked out of Terry’s house. He even had a gift with him, as though he was there to apologize.”
Luna pursed her lips and glanced dubiously at Gwen.” Well… What time did Luke’s men visit Terry?”
Gwen shrugged. “Don’t you know the answer to this? Gangsters always work at night, so I’m sure they must’ve gone around midnight.
“One of Luke’s men recognized Sean and guessed that he was probably there to apologize, so they dragged him
into the house alongside them.
“First, he apologized to Terry’s family, then tried to explain to them that he had also been tricked by Nikki.
The doctor tended to Terry until about five in the morning, and Sean stayed with them throughout the night. He left with everyone else at the crack of dawn.”
Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
Luke’s men had claimed that Sean was with them the entire night. However, on the phone , Fred had told her that he had seen Sean inside his room, working until almost four in the morning.
If this was the case…where was Sean last night?
All of a sudden, her phone buzzed with a message.
Luna glanced at her screen.
Butler Fred had sent her a photo.
Inside the photo, the light in Sean’s room was still on, despite it being 4 in the morning, and even through the window, one could vaguely make out the silhouette of a man sitting in front of his computer as though he was doing work.
(Ms. Luna, this is a photo that I took this morning. I had forgotten to send it to you just now. initially, I had snapped this photo when I passed by and noticed that Mr. Sean was still awake, but now that I think of it, he might’ve been working on something.)
Luna bit her lip as she scrutinized the photo on her screen.
The butler and Luke’s subordinate; one of them was lying.
There was no way Sean could split himself in two and be at different places at the same time.
However, Butler Fred had photographic evidence…
Luna lifted her head to glance at Gwen. “Um… Does the subordinate who ran into Sean last night happen to have any photos or videos as proof?”
Gwen paused for a moment, then shot Luna a puzzled look. “Of course he doesn’t. He brought the doctor to tend to Terry, whereas Sean was there to visit him, so why would they take a photo together? It’s not like they’re friends or anything.”
With that, she glanced at Luna’s phone and added, “I can’t help noticing something strange about this photo.”
“What’s strange?”
Gwen pursed her lips and pointed at the watch face, which displayed the time, inside the image. “Why would the photographer deliberately take a photo of his watch face?”
Lune pouted in deep thought. “Well, to prove the time, of course. This is a photo that Butler Fred took, and he claimed that he had taken this photo of Sean when he noticed that he was still awake at 4 a.m.”
Gwen was still a little puzzled by this. “Why would he do this? It just seems too deliberate to me, as though he knew he’d need this photo as evidence.”
Luna bit her lip nervously when she heard this and clicked into Butler Fred’s social media profile to scroll through his pictures.
There were plenty of photos on his profile , but none of them displayed a watch or clock face like the one he had sent her.
This meant that incorporating a watch face into a picture to tell the time was not his habit at all.
If so, why did he deliberately add this tiny detail when taking a photo of Sean working through the night?
Gwen was right. His actions seemed a little too deliberate …as though he had known this would be used as evidence.
However, he claimed to have taken this photo while passing by Sean’s room.
