Chapter 399
“They’re wrapped up from head to toe,” Wendy muttered, frowning at the screen. “Even if we hand this footage over to the police, there’s no way they’ll track them down.”
Sharon remained perfectly calm. “They covered their tracks, sure. But with the police’s resources, finding them won’t be that difficult.”
She paused, then pointed at one figure on the screen. “Wendy… look closely. Doesn’t this one move a little like Nate?”
Wendy leaned in, studying the footage. After a moment, she nodded slowly. “You know what… yeah. Especially the way he walks. That ridiculous strut-it’s him, no doubt.”
No matter how well someone disguised themselves, little habits-subconscious movements-always slipped through. And someone like Nate, born into money, sloppy and arrogant, carried a dozen bad habits in his bones.
Wendy snorted. “But seriously… why would he come himself? Isn’t it enough to just hire people?”
Sharon was unfazed. “Maybe… he just wanted the satisfaction of smashing it himself.”
“Yeah, that tracks,” Wendy sighed. “You’ve been making his life hell lately. Got him locked up for a few days, too. He probably hates your guts right now.”
It made perfect sense. Nate showing up to trash the studio himself wasn’t exactly out of character.
Just then, the audio from the hidden camera flared up. Nate’s unmistakable voice barked through the speakers, furious and
harsh.
“Smash it! Don’t hold back! Wreck everything! Don’t leave a single thing standing!”
Wendy’s jaw dropped. “Wow.”
Anyone who’d ever met Nate would recognize that voice in a heartbeat.
Wendy shook her head in disbelief. “I take it back. I’ve seriously overestimated his IQ. Like… you destroy the cameras, cover your face, and forget to shut your damn mouth?”
She glanced at Sharon. “So… what’s the plan?”
Sharon’s lips curved into something between a smile and a sneer. “Honestly, I’m starting to feel bad for Kelly and Carter. Having a teammate like Nate must be exhausting.
“Post the footage. Upload it. Let the internet do the rest. Netizens these days are all wannabe Sherlocks. They live for these kinds of brain teasers. They’ll expose the culprits in no time.”
Wendy’s eyes lit up. “Ohhh. That’s brilliant!”
Neither of them bothered to lower their voices, Casey stood off to the side, taking it all in. She wasn’t dumb. She’d more or less pieced together what was going on.
So… they’d pissed off someone powerful too. But unlike her, they weren’t running. They were standing their ground and fighting back.
For the first time in a long while, something stirred in Casey’s heart.
Maybe… maybe following these two wouldn’t be boring after all.
The moment Sharon’s post hit the internet, it exploded. Within an hour, it was trending at the top of the hot search.

Naturally, Nate saw it.
When he did, he burst out laughing, “Hah! She’s asking the internet for clues? Seriously? Good luck with that. The cameras are gone! She’s got nothing!”
Feeling smug, he scrolled through the photos of Sharon’s trashed studio, grinning wider with each one.
Yeah… this felt good. Real good. After all the crap she’d put him through lately, this was cathartic.
Just as he was basking in his own brilliance, his phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, his grin widened. “Carter! What’s up? Found Star yet?”
But the voice on the other end was ice.
Carter said, “Go to Sharon right now and ask her what it’ll take to remove her post.”
