    Since Thssa was with Lysander, Evelyn had better not disturb them. But she needed to send

    Thssa a text to let her know she was heading back.


    It was only then that Evelyn fished her phone out of her purse.


    To her surprise, she saw several missed calls, all from Thssa.


    She dialed back immediately, and the call was answered just after two rings.


    “Mom, where are you right now?” Thssa’s voice came through, tense and filled with urgency.


    “I’m at the Draven International Hotel, honey, and you won''t believe what I just saw...”


    “I’m at Royal Estates. Mom, get a cab here, and hurry!” Thssa cut her off before Evelyn could finish.


    Evelyn could hear the desperation in her daughter''s voice.


    She halted the topic she wanted to discuss, feeling a mix of surprise and disappointment.


    Thssa wasn’t with Lysander after all; Lysander was at the hotel, and Thssa was at Royal Estates.


    And Susan — she had juste out of Lysander’s room. Did that mean she had just been intimate


    with him?


    Evelyn had seen Susan with her flushed face and disheveled clothes, both were clear signs of what


    had just transpired.


    Was this the aftermath of being alone with Lysander?


    As someone who had seen a lot, Evelyn knew exactly what Susan''s appearance signified.


    Susan had been with Lysander, and then she went to another man’s room to continue the the next


    round!


    The lives of the rich were so chaotic and sordid!


    As Evelyn connected the dots, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, both for Thssa and herself. She


    couldn''t believe the duplicity of Lysander, who kept leading Thssa on while not being exclusive to


    her.


    Evelyn also felt a profound sadness for herself; it seemed she had never met a decent man.


    Though leaving the hotel in a daze, Evelyn didn’t forget Thssa’s instruction. She hailed a cab and


    headed to Royal Estates.


    ...


    At that very moment, within Royal Estates.


    Thssa and Atticus were in a room, in which the atmosphere fraught with tension.


    She handed Atticus Bruce''s phone number, his family''s IP address, and the password and let him to


    hack into Bruce''s phone andputer.


    Atticus’ young face was serious. His little brows furrowed in concentration as he rapidly typed on the


    keyboard.


    In no time, he had essed Bruce’s phone.


    The files from Bruce''s phone wereid bare on theputer screen.


    Thssa sat beside Atticus. Her eyes glued to the monitor and didn’t dare to blink.


    Atticus opened numerous files, but Thssa couldn''t spot that video of Evelyn.


    She had seen the thumbnail before; one glimpse would tell her whether the video was that one or not.


    They were almost through all the files, and still no sign of the video.


    Could it be that he didn''t save it on his phone?


    Thssa’s heart tightened with anxiety.


    “Mom, thest one is encrypted. We need a password to open it.” Atticus said, his voice soft but


    serious, pointing at the unresponsive file.


    Thssa, slick with a sheen of sweat from tension and focus, asked nervously, “What do we do now?”


    “No worries, the encryption is simple. Give me a few seconds to crack it.” Atticus’ fingers danced


    confidently across the keyboard, and soon the password was bypassed.


    The final file opened.


    As the video thumbnail appeared, Thssa’s heart skipped a beat.


    “There it is! That’s the video. Delete it. Don’t y it!” Thssa’s voice quivered with urgency and


    nerves.
