Chapter 75: Flash Drive
Chapter 75: Flash Drive
I dialled my lawyer's number and waited for him to pick up my call.
We were in the middle of our discussion when Andrew barged in again, holding three long folders of a
different color, but I simply motioned him to put them inside my drawer on the left side.
"What is this?" I heard him mumble and I furrowed my eyebrows when he stood up with a small white
box in his hands.
Then I remembered the package Denise told me a few weeks ago. I didn't touch it then and completely
lost in my mind.
"What is this?" Andrew asked again and because I was also curious, I told my lawyer that I will call him
again after a few minutes.
I ended the call and faced the confused and curious Andrew.
"I don't know." I shrugged.
"How long has it been there?"
"Three weeks, I guess. Denise told me about it but I decided not to open it then." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Yeah, I decided not to open it because I thought it came from Sophia and I was afraid of knowing what
was inside of that small box. What if it's her wedding ring?
"For goodness sake, Daniel Kelley! Three weeks and you haven't opened it until now? What if it's a
bomb or something explosive?"
"Andrew, I'm not an idiot for not knowing if it's a bomb! And if it's ever something explosive, do you
think you're still here standing in front of me and holding that box which is not yours?"
He sighed, rolling his eyes and put the box in front of me.
"Why don't you open it so you'll know what's inside of it?"
He asked but I pushed it towards him.
"You opened it."
He looked at me, confused.
"But you said it's not mine."
"Yeah, but I want you to open it."
"Fine!"
He took the small box and slowly tore off the white wrapper, but I lowered my head and avoided seeing
its content. But I immediately looked up when I heard what he said.
"What the heck----- a flash drive?"
"What did you say?"
He showed me the green thing in his hand, and yes I heard it correctly. It's a flash drive. I felt a sudden
relief inside me when I saw that it was not Sophia's wedding ring, but I also got confused as to who
would send that thing to me.
"Who would send you a fucking flash drive?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
"Why don't you plug this on, so we can know the content?" He tried to connect it to my computer but I
stopped him.
"No! Not in my computer! We don't know if that contain viruses or something to hack our systems."
"So what are we going to do with this?"
"Let's go to the IT department."
....................................
Andrew's POV:
"That fucking son of a bitch!"
"Hey! Where are you going?" I immediately grabbed Daniel's arm and pushed him back inside the
room.
"Let me go, Andrew! I'm going to kill that bastard! How dare he touch my wife?"
He yelled at me. All his veins were showing in his neck due to anger. His eyes were showing danger
and he tried to remove my hands but I didn't let him go.
"Can you please calm down?"
"Calm down? Calm down, Andrew? He tried to rape her!" He yelled again, narrowing his eyes at me.
"I know! I also watched it, didn't I? But please, try to calm yourself and let's think of a better way for this
matter!" I pulled him towards the chair and forced him to sit.
I admit, I was also shocked to see the video and it's the first time I see him like this. He's furious that
his body was shaking and his eyes were reddened in anger.
The flash drive contains the CCTV footage taken inside of De Lucca's residence, almost seven years
ago based on the date shown in the video.
The video shows the time when Sophia entered the house and talked to a middle-aged woman who
Daniel said was Layla Angeles. It took almost thirty minutes and it showed all the details that happened
during that day. When Joseph and another man chased Sophia into the living room, and the next
footage made Daniel explode in anger that he even smashed the two computers and threw them on the
floor.
"What are you doing?" I asked him when he took his phone but he just ignored me and kept dialling.
I don't know what's going on in his mind but I guess it's something I wouldn't agree with.
"Find him!"
That's the first word that came out of his mouth.
"I don't fucking care how you do it, just do what I say and find him!"
"Find who?" I asked the moment he ended the call.
"The mother fucker, who else?"
And he walked towards the door with me following behind him, so when he suddenly stopped, I
bumped on him and we almost kissed.
"What the hell, Andrew?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you will stop walking!"
"Tss! Get the flash drive and make sure to put it in the safety box in my office!"
"I got it." I said patting my front pocket.
.......................................
Daniel's POV:
"Cancel all my appointments, Andrew!"
I told him when we go back to my office.
"Where are you going?" He stopped walking. He was about to go to where the safe deposit box was
placed.
"I need to talk to her!" I replied, not looking at him and took my jacket from the back of my chair.
"But you said she doesn't want to talk to you---"
"I know and if I have to beg just for her to talk to me, I will do it, Andrew."
"All right." He sighed. "But please, don't do something you will regret in the end."
I didn't utter a word as I know what he was referring to. It's about the call he heard earlier. Well, I can't
promise anything. I will not just sit and wait for the news to come. If I have to search for all the avenues
in Los Angeles or even all over California, I won't think twice about doing it just to find that fucking
bastard.
I could still feel my blood boiling just by imagining what would have happened if he succeeded, and
what I can do with him when I see him again.
God forbids, but I don't know what I can do if he ever tried to touch my wife again.
I left him still muttering words that could no longer register in my head.
