Chapter 738


    ?


    "Wow, talk about a coincidence."


    Christine and Dailey exchanged nces, Dailey inquired, "And if some top-notch hacker can''t fix it?"


    The surveince room staff was oblivious to Dailey''s true status, merely observing their boss nodding and bowing at him, guessing he must be some high-flyer.


    Not daring to offend, the staff member honestly said, "Even the person who designed this surveince system wouldn''t be able to recover it."


    "It''s not just a matter of deleting a file that a talented programmer or hacker could recover."


    "It''s a fail-safe, or rather, a self-destruct mechanism. Once the data''s wiped, it''s gone for good."


    Dailey''s eyes shed coldly as he asked, "Where''s the hard drive?"


    The staff member handed over the water-damaged hard drive to Dailey.


    Dailey examined it and then turned to the hotel owner, "Yourputer, cloud ounts, everything, hand them over."


    "I''ve got a buddy in surveince, I''ll get you set up with a new system."


    The hotel owner didn''t dare object, leading Dailey to his office to collect theputer, adding Dailey on social media, and sending over all ount details he could.


    He didn''t dare withhold anything.


    Dailey arranged for someone to attempt data recovery, then took Christine out for a meal.


    "Dai..." Nelly followed, "I haven''t eaten either, can I join?"


    "What do you want? I''ll have someone fetch it."


    Catching Dailey''s hint of refusal, Nelly sniffled, "Dai, you can doubt me, hence the distance, but I must say, I had no reason to do this. If I could have, I would''ve years ago. Your grandma liked me, it''s just your granddad who thought I came from nothing, but it''s not like I couldn''t have tried."


    "The rkson family has its reputation to consider. If I could bear your child, I''d be Mrs. Ferguson of the rkson family, the future matriarch." "But Dai, I didn''t. I even thought about sparing you the trouble, went abroad, faced bullying silently... I couldn''t even attend my granddad in hisst days."


    "Because of this, your granddad dropped his guard around me, allowing me to im the rkson name, getting care in both my career and personal life. Why would I jeopardize that?"

    Her words moved even Christine, an outsider.


    But Christine had seen another side of Nelly.


    She couldn''t muster a shred of sympathy.


    Already famished and after such an ordeal, thest thing she needed was to watch

    Nelly bit her lip, suppressing the loathing in her eyes for Christine.


    She had been counting on Dailey''s guilt to y her cards gradually.


    Christine''s interference forced her into a risky move.


    If it worked, Christine would be spared.


    If not, Christine would be her downfall.


    They came from simr backgrounds; what Nelly couldn''t have, neither could Christine.


    "Fine, since there''s no surveince to prove anything and you all suspect me, I''ll ept it."


    "I''m not above proving my innocence with death."


    With that, she somehow produced a dagger, shing at her own wrist.


    -A public attempt at suicide.


    Quite the spectacle.

    Watching this unfold, Christine couldn''t help but roll her eyes dramatically.
