Noah was waiting for Karina by the villa entrance, but after a long wait, it was Cynthia who appeared, not his wife.
Cynthia had also attended the banquet. When she arrived, she had only greeted Noah and the Thompsons briefly before keeping to herself.
The Thompson family had already seen all the guests off, so it was a surprise that Cynthia was still here.
“Cynthia, you haven't left yet?” Noah asked her gently.
“My car is stuck in traffic,” Cynthia said with a helpless shrug.
“Do you want me to arrange a car to take you home?” Noah offered.
“My driver just called, he should be here soon, so I won’t trouble you.” Cynthia smiled, then opened her handbag and pulled out a small USB drive.
“What’s this?” Noah asked, confused.
“It’s the surveillance footage from the banquet hall and the lounge today. Max is still in charge of security. The old man is sentimental and still remembers me, so he was willing to do me a small favor and give me the footage. I’ve already watched it. It confirms that the Powell women bribed a servant to drug the drinks.”
Cynthia placed the USB drive in Noah’s hand and continued, “I don’t know if this will be useful to you, but it’s best you know the truth. This mess with Frank and his family… it’s best if you don’t get involved.”
“Yes, I understand,” Noah nodded, his hand tightening around the USB drive.
Perhaps it was true that people should never be compared.
Cynthia, an outsider, had managed to quietly obtain the surveillance footage for him and advise him to stay out of the family drama, handling everything with perfect tact.
And Karina, his own wife, could only think to gloat at a time like this.
