Chapter 136
Jennifer held the flash drive and stared at it in stunned silence for a long time. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. “But this is what you use to play music. If you give it to me, how will you listen to music next time?”
The little girl grinned. “That's okay. I have many more at home. Besides, this one can't play music.”
Jennifer was about to return the flash drive to the little girl when she saw a middle-aged woman rush over while calling out reproachfully, “Sara! What have I told you many times before? Don't run off like that!”
The girl named Sara stuck out her tongue, then turned to Jennifer and said, “Bye, then!”
The middle-aged woman kept thanking Jennifer profusely. “I can't thank you enough. Thank you for looking after my granddaughter.”
“Oh, that's quite all right. She's adorable,” Jennifer replied.
After the middle-aged woman had hurried off with Sara, Jennifer glanced at her watch. There were still two hours left before the charity gala.
Hence, she rushed back to Pollerton Estates to change her clothes.
Just as she was about to toss her clothes into the trash can, she felt the flash drive in her pocket. Without knowing why she did it, she plugged it into her laptop.
It was an encrypted flash drive, and a box popped up for her to key in the password.
The password hint was: How did you get this flash drive?
Jennifer could not help chuckling as she suddenly thought of the adorable Sara. She murmured, “Because I'm a good person.”
She typed it in without much thought, never intending to access what was stored in the flash drive. After that, she prepared to remove the flash drive.
But before she could remove it, she stared at the screen in surprise. She had managed to access the flash drive, which meant the password was correct!
A few seconds later, Jennifer froze. Her entire body trembled, and she was drenched in a cold sweat.
The flash drive contained numerous photos and several files.
The photos were gruesome as they were all of a young man committing murders. He even turned to look at the camera and grinned!
He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a well-mannered young man. However, his methods were downright cruel.
There were beheadings, slitting of throats, and even skinning!
As for the files, they were data records of some experiments. Almost all of the words in the files were in a language that Jennifer had never seen before, so she guessed it was probably a new language that was used by very few people.
At the end of one of the documents was a message. It read: No matter who you are, please know that I'm probably dead by the time you see the information in this flash drive. If you 're a good person, I hope you can save my daughter, Sara. If you're one of Noah's subordinates, I hope you'll give Sara a quick and painless death.
Jennifer was so terrified that the color drained from her face. Breathing heavily, she quickly removed the flash drive and slammed her laptop screen shut.
She could not believe how anyone could be as brutal as that!
“Who should I give this? Who can I give it to?” Jennifer stood up while gripping the flash drive tightly in her hand.
Suddenly, someone flung open the door.
Jennifer shrieked and huddled in a corner of the room.
“Why are you screaming? Hurry up and go to that charity gala!” It was Kevin, and he looked displeased.
After composing herself, Jennifer asked, “What's your agreement with Pollerton Commerce?” “Regardless of the bid price, they'll give me twenty-five million,” Kevin answered
carelessly.
He was dressed in luxury items from head to toe. Ever since colluding with Harrison, he had gone down a path of extravagant spending with no way out.
“But you lost forty million, and you still owe another thirty million in debts. How are you going to clear off the remaining amount?” Jennifer pressed. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Naturally, that's for you to figure out,” Kevin replied.
He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone with no hint of remorse.
Something inside Jennifer snapped, and she retorted, “And what if I can't figure it out? It's not like you're not aware of my current situation!”
“You're now the CEO of Pollerton Pharma, and you've set up many departments. You can easily save up ten or twenty million if you tighten your belt a little,” said Kevin. Then, he widened his eyes and added, “Use your brain, can't you?”
