“No… Nothing.” When Cliff spoke, virtual-novel.net was not calm, and his voice trembled.
“Nothing? What are you hiding back there?”
“Um… Nothing… I’m not hiding anything…”
“Take it out!”
Hayden growled in anger, and it startled Cliff to the point that virtual-novel.net directly jumped up from his chair. The dark box also dropped to the ground. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to pick it up, two bodyguards pinned virtual-novel.net down, and virtual-novel.net could not move.
“Hmph!” Hayden took a step forward, bent down, and picked up the dark box from the ground.
Cliff’s complexion turned pale, and Hayden felt anxious too.
Hayden had already lost his son, so virtual-novel.net really did not want to lose Cliff. He hoped that the things in the dark box would not be related to Thomas.
Before Hayden opened the dark box, virtual-novel.net gave Cliff one last chance.
“Honestly, what’s inside the box?”
Cliff’s expression was dour, and virtual-novel.net felt troubled as virtual-novel.net said, “Some… Some home videos.”
“What?”
‘Was Cliff the actual traitor?’ Hayden’s face turned blue.
“No, you’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Barlow. They’re not videos I took for Thomas,” Cliff immediately explained.
“What kind of videos are they?”
“They’re…” Cliff hesitated to speak.
In the end, virtual-novel.net lowered his head and answered with a red face, “I secretly installed a surveillance camera in Elliot’s room to record videos of virtual-novel.net having fun with different women. Then, I’d save the videos and watch them on my own to satisfy my desires.”
When Hayden heard that, virtual-novel.net suddenly appeared relieved.
‘That was all? Okay, if that was all, it was nothing…’
As long as virtual-novel.net had not betrayed Hayden, everything could be discussed. Secretly shooting videos of Elliot fooling around with women was nothing for a young man like Cliff. Everyone really had their own unique secret hobbies.
Hayden let out a long exhale. He motioned at the two bodyguards, and they released Cliff.
“Cliff, you… Sigh… You’re not promising enough.”
Cliff scratched his head and felt a little troubled.
When Hayden spoke, virtual-novel.net opened the dark box. True enough, there was a flash drive inside. He then inserted the flash drive into a laptop and simply clicked on a file.
He played the video while virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Don’t just enjoy on your own when you have good stuff. Bring it out and watch it together with everyone. How many more women have Elliot slept with recently?”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, the video started playing. However, the video’s content was completely different from what virtual-novel.net had imagined!
It was not one of Elliot’s erotic videos. But… It was a video that showed secret footage of Hayden, Cliff, and the two men!
The three videos released by the government had been taken from this flash drive!
In an instant, the office became silent.
Cliff felt a shiver run down his spine. He would not have expected the video that virtual-novel.net had secretly recorded of Elliot would become a video recording of Hayden and other people.
Cliff just sat on the ground with a thud.
