The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 590

Chapter 590 Surveillance “Malfunction”

The security guard was drenched in sweat. “Ms…. Ms. Marie, the cameras really did break.”

At that moment, both the guard and the hotel manager looked like they were about to cry. They couldn’t say a word of truth.

Stella narrowed her eyes at them in silence.

“They really were broken,” the guard stammered.

Internally, he was already weeping.

What kind of karma did I walk into? Each one of them is scarier than the last.

But the moment he thought about how that person had threatened him at gunpoint–how they’d even used his family to pressure him–his gut clenched. He really might cry.

Stella brushed her fingers over her polished nails. “Last chance. Who deleted the footage?”

She lifted her eyes slowly, the chill in her gaze enough to freeze bone.

The security guard met her eyes–and collapsed to his knees in panic. “It wasn’t deleted! I swear it wasn’t! The system just broke!”

Stella picked up the

gun.

The entire room went silent. As she raised it and pointed straight at him, the security guard screamed, arms over his head, eyes squeezed shut. “It’s broken! I swear! Even if you kill me, it’s still broken!”

The hotel manager jumped in. “Please, Ms. Marie! This isn’t necessary–the cameras really are just broken!”

“This is a serious failing on our part. We’ll compensate you, I swear.”

Faced with Stella’s deceptively sweet but deadly pressure, the manager and guard were rambling in pure

terror.

Marie let out a cold laugh. “I was assaulted, you want to compensate me? How, exactly?”

“H–How… to compensate…”

Yeah. That was the question.

THE

Usually people book a room and willingly do that kind of thing. But this? She’d been assaulted while staying in the hotel.

What the hell kind of disaster had this turned into?

The manager’s spine was soaked with cold sweat. He was completely numb.

Marie stepped forward and lightly pressed Stella’s wrist. “Forget it. Looks like the system really was broken.”

The way they looked–they were practically ghosts already, and still hadn’t coughed up any answers. That meant it probably was broken.

Stella agreed. Anyone willing to risk death just to keep quiet? Probably telling the truth.

So she lowered the gun.

Both the guard and the manager exhaled deeply in unison.

“Get out,” Marie snapped.

Compensate? What, with money? Or maybe offer up someone else’s virginity?

She didn’t care about money, and as for her virginity–how would anyone make up for that?

The manager and guard practically fled like they’d been granted a royal pardon.

Once it was just the two of them, Stella glanced at Marie. “It really was probably broken.”

“Mm.”

Marie sounded drained.

What a nightmare. That bastard better pray I never find him, or I’ll tear him limb from limb.

“I might have another way,” Stella said.

“You do?” Marie perked up a little..

Stella nodded. “Street surveillance.”

“I don’t even know who the hell it was–what’s there to look for? This is a hotel. Do you know how many people come and go?”

Street surveillance? Sounded like a long shot.

Stella looked at the red marks on Marie’s neck. “I think it might’ve been someone you know.”

What? Someone she knew?

Is she serious? What idiot I know would be dumb enough to do this to me?

Still, if it really was someone familiar–then that would make things easier.

Didn’t matter what kind of ‘familiar‘ they were. She’d tear them apart all the same.

Back at Derrick’s villa-

Sebastian, Ashley, and Luo Tie were all there, faces pale as ghosts, reeling from what had just happened.

Derrick sat there, a cigar between his fingers, cold fury seeping from every inch of him.

Of the group, his expression was by far the worst.

He’d been dragged home by Sebastian and Ashley, who’d handled the whole “situation.”

From beginning to end, Derrick hadn’t spoken a single word.

Sebastian hesitated. “Should you… I don’t know… call that demon and ask how she’s doing?”

He was sweating, too.

When they’d heard the sounds coming from the room earlier, they’d all gone stiff with fear.
