“It’s coming out!” The assistant wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the movements under his hands couldn’t help but speed up a few notches.
Edward Ford plucked out a glance at him, “Move fast, dilly-dally!”
The assistant nodded and was soon followed by a glow of delight, “It’s out!”
Daisy’s heart almost thumped as she looked over, only to see the assistant had already pulled up the surveillance and pressed play.
Edward Ford said, “I want to see where Elena goes when she arrives at the Fords.”
At that, Daisy’s breathing nearly stopped and she let out a controlled gasp, “Mr Ford!”
“What is it?” Edward Ford turned his head to look at her and Daisy tensed up, “I …… I ……”
Edward Ford had a look of impatience on his face, “Tell me what’s going on later, let’s watch the surveillance first!”
Daisy was so anxious at this point that she moved her lips to stop the words again, but just as the words reached her lips, she heard a ‘pop’ sound and the monitors in the surveillance room all went black, and even the lights in the room went out instantly.
“Ah!”
Daisy screamed as she crouched down and held her head in her hands.
Edward Ford looked around at the blackness and couldn’t help but exclaim, “What’s going on!”
Not far away, the assistant’s weak voice followed, “No, I don’t know. ……”
Daisy’s face was terrified, not knowing how to face the suddenness of everything.
Edward Ford cursed angrily and found the assistant’s spot in the darkness with an unmistakable kick, “Idiot, why don’t you go out and see what’s going on!”
“Yes!” The assistant busily got up and groped for the door and opened it to leave.
After a moment, the light returned to the house once more.
Daisy, curled up in the corner with her head in her hands, couldn’t help but slowly lower and lift her face as the assistant came in and kindly helped her up.
Edward Ford grimaced, “What’s going on?”
“It seems to have tripped because the voltage was too high, I’ll have someone come over later to change it.”
Edward Ford’s face didn’t look very good, there was always a vague feeling that something was wrong.
“Where’s the CCTV! Go and turn the monitor on for me!”
The assistant heard this and immediately turned the monitor on again with a slight tremor.
It was only half a sound later that his panicked voice was heard ringing out, “The video …… video recordings are all gone! Could it be that the gate suddenly tripped just now, that’s why ……”
“How could it be that it’s not there!” Edward Ford obviously did not believe it and stepped forward and pushed him away as soon as he claimed to do it himself.
But no matter what, the end result was the same.
The assistant was scowling, “President Ford, the video is gone, so what now?”
What to do?
Edward Ford was furious, what else could he do?
The video was gone, could he still watch it? If he couldn’t, what was the point of staying here?
As he thought about it, he gave him a fierce glare and left without a word!
The assistant couldn’t help but follow him out immediately.
Daisy was still hiding in the corner, listening to the two men, and although she didn’t know what was going on, she understood something.
It was as if all the strength had been lifted from my body, and I couldn’t tell you how relieved I was ……
On the other hand, Zach Stone sat in front of his computer and enlarged the smile on his face, “Good man, it’s a good thing I moved a step faster, otherwise, I would have been beaten to the punch!”
With that, he immediately dialed the phone in his hand.
The call had only just been answered when he began to gloat, “Logan Brown, how are you going to thank me this time?”
The man narrowed his eyes sharply, “In that case, how are you going to make me thank you?”
“Eh, not ……”
Zach Stone inexplicably bristled inside, “Why does that sound so wrong to me.”
Logan Brown sneered a few times, “Don’t forget who helped with you and your wife?”
Zach Stone was in tears, “You don’t bring up old stuff like that, it’s been going on for ages!”
“In that case, I wouldn’t mind talking to Sophia Mckinley about your current offer, seeing as she’s the baby’s godmother, she should probably give a discount ……”
“Logan Brown!” said Zach Stone in an instant, “I’ve never really seen a shady businessman like you!”
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and didn’t deny it.
Zach Stone gritted his teeth and continued, “Just, even if Sophi is the baby’s godmother, then I still have to say, you still have to settle this one. Mind you, that’s Edward Ford, I’ve offended The Fords for you ……”
“I know.”
Zach Stone laughed immediately when he heard that, “Look, since you know that too, then ……”
Logan Brown pursed his lips, “I seem to remember that the baby has been missing a godfather, and I thought, if you weren’t interested in that, I could find ……”
A godfather!
Zach Stone’s eyes instantly lit up and the corners of his mouth unconsciously followed suit, “You mean, your payment this time is for me to be the baby’s godfather?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“Whether you said it or not, I’ll take this godfather!” Zach Stone patted his chest and changed his tune, softening his tone, “Logan Brown, look, Sophi is the baby’s godmother, so I’m her man, so I have to accept this godfather, even if I don’t, right?”
“I never said that.”
“Then you have to say that even if you don’t.” Zach Stone had a bitter look on his face, “You do realise that we never talk about family either don’t you?”
Logan Brown raised his eyebrows slightly and mumbled his words, “Family?”
“Yeah!” Zach Stone nodded, “Logan Brown, if you get the baby to accept me as his godfather this time, you’ll get a lot of goodies in the future and I’ll be at your disposal!”
“…… Ok.”
Logan Brown’s cold words fell, and a glint of light passed under his eyes.
Mr. Zach Stone was happy for a while, but after a while, he felt something was wrong, and after half a second, he couldn’t help but remember what he had said, and he couldn’t control the look of fear on his face!
“No, it’s not …… Logan Brown, what I just said ……”
Logan Brown hooked his lips, “Your offer just now was tempting, so I agreed, the baby does lack a godfather and you happen to be the perfect choice.”
Zach Stone felt his scalp tingle, and he felt more than a little tearful.
Inexplicably, he actually felt like he was being set up.
Faced with his distress, Logan Brown didn’t seem to be in a bad mood and spoke in a lighter tone, “So, anyway, from now on, I’ll be asking you, the godfather, to help out more ……”
“Logan Brown!”
Zach Stone gritted his teeth, “I have to admit, you’re a total shady businessman!”
The man had a light smile on his face, his thin lips flicking open with a flirtatious note, “I appreciate the compliment, after all, businessmen are cunning.”
