“You all play for a while, Mommy has to take a call! Jake, Daddy will come over once he’s done. Be good.”
Even though Jake was anxious, he could only nod his head at this moment.
“Alright…”
Rosalind took her phone and walked out of the children’s room before answering the call.
“Hello, B7?”
“Ulric took the video from the flash drive! He controlled my computer, and if I guess right, that video should be destroyed by now.”
“What?!”
Rosalind’s mind went blank instantly.
A buzzing sound filled her ears…
“You need to find Ulric quickly. He probably wants to protect his mother and eliminate the evidence!”
“Rosalind? Hello? Rosalind! Are you listening?”
“I… I’m here…” She reached out to steady herself against the wall, barely able to stand. “Are you sure he knows what’s on the flash drive and isn’t just asking out of jealousy?”
She didn’t want to wrongfully accuse Ulric.
“He knows! Rosalind, he knows everything!”
B7’s words echoed repeatedly in Rosalind’s mind, playing over and over.
She hung up the phone and hurried towards the hospital room!
No wonder…
No wonder Ulric was acting so strangely, constantly apologizing to her!
No wonder Ulric, who never avoided her during meetings, claimed today’s meeting was confidential!
It turned out that he had already known the truth!
Rosalind reached out and pushed the hospital room door, but it was locked from inside.
She knocked forcefully. “Ulric, open the door!”
He didn’t hide. He quickly came over to open the door.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Ulric was wearing the silk robe she had personally changed for him. The belt was loosely tied around his hips, making him appear tall and cold yet with a hint of lazy charm.
On the day they met again years later, he stood before her like this too, with deep black eyes.
But today was different from those days.
“Ulric, where’s the video?”
Rosalind found her voice hoarse when she asked this question.
His thin lips moved slightly as his tall figure shifted aside, seemingly wanting her to enter first before speaking.
But Rosalind refused to move even an inch.
“I’m asking you, where’s the video you got from B7?”
“…”
“Ulric!”
“It’s destroyed.”
“…”
Rosalind looked at him in shock. “Say that again!”
“You planned to use that video as evidence to send my mom and Sirena to prison, right?”
Ulric’s voice was hoarse and low, carrying a slight tremor.
“That’s right!” Since it was already out in the open, Rosalind didn’t hold back. “I’ve long suspected that your mom is the murderer! If you’ve seen that video, then you should know-”
“What should I know?” Ulric interrupted her sharply. “I should know that while I’ve been carefully planning our future together, you’ve been planning how to leave me and counting down the days until you go.”
“Rosalind, have you ever considered me? Just a little bit would be enough!”
She clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles turned white.
“No, I only want the truth!” Rosalind gritted her teeth. “Give me the video.”
Ulric closed his eyes and suppressed all his turbulent emotions.
“I told you it’s already destroyed.”
