On the screen, the surveillance footage played. The footage after Fawn, Natasha, and Harry entered was gone. Vespera and Rebecca weren't in the footage. It wasn't just edited. It was erased!
Vespera was stunned. Was this actually happening? A cold shiver slid down her spine.
Dominic seemed to have noticed something off. He motioned for Calvert and asked, "Have you watched this video before?"
Calvert shook his head and answered, "I just copied the video you asked for and wiped it out. I didn't check the video."
He didn't even know why they were doing this in the first place.
Dominic said, "Take a look now, then."
Calvert took the phone and watched for a while. Not noticing anything wrong with it, he said, "Mrs. Reid, Mr. Harry, and Ms. Natasha came in and left. Was there a fight or something?"
Dominic pointed to the screen and replied, "There was a woman standing here. She's gone."
Calvert said, "So, a hacker had tampered with it."
Then, he added, "Who is she? Oh no. She's being stalked."
"Stalked?" Vespera asked, her breath caught.
Calvert explained, "This is a busy mall, and this is a store. Most people come without planning ahead. To delete the exact few seconds where that woman appeared means they would have had to be watching her in real time. Otherwise, how would they know when to cut the footage?"
"That makes sense," mumbled Vespera, feeling her knees wobble.
So, someone didn't want the Reid family to know that Vespera had saved Fawn? That meant that person knew everything that happened that night.
Was it Selena, or one of the women at the ball?
