But Leslie grabbed her hand and said coldly, "I'll come back another day." After speaking, he left without looking back.
He had just had sex with Catherine, so he had no more energy to deal with Nora now.
He didn't want to lose face in front of women.
Nora felt abandoned. Ingrid was dead. Didn't he need women? Why did they become more and more distant? "Does Leslie have another woman?" As soon as this idea came up, Nora panicked and she immediately became uneasy.

When Catherine came out of the shower, Leslie had left. She didn't know where he had gone. She lit a cigarette and sat down in the chair by the window.
The main light in the room was off. Under the moonlight, Catherine looked a bit lonely.
The smoke of the cigarette blurred her face and the location of Leslie's car on her phone. He was not home.
What was he doing? Just as she was wondering, the phone rang, and she picked up. "Yes?" "Catherine, Leslie is involved in drug transactions, and the amount is huge, but the evidence is not easy to find. He is very cautious in every transaction.” The person reported, "He went to Youth Pub frequently. It is said that the boss Nora had an affair with him and helped him sell drugs." "What did you say?!" Catherine was shocked, "Nora?" REST "Do you have a picture of her?" Catherine asked nervously.
The other person was puzzled. It was just a woman, "Do you want a photo? I'll get it right away. " "Yes." She answered.
"Okay." Catherine quickly regained her senses, "I'll send you a location, check what he's doing there." She suspected it was Nora's home.
"Okay." After the call ended, Catherine sent the location.
Then she was lost in thought for a long time, sitting by the window and waiting... Waiting for one day to send Leslie to jail! In this way, she could completely get rid of him.
If Nora was the person she guessed, then Nora should go to jail too! Catherine hated the life she was living now. Every minute and every second made her sick! She called Linda, but Linda's phone was still turned off.

A phone call woke up Ivan and Jennifer, who had just fallen asleep.
Ivan turned on the lamp. The phone was still ringing. "Mr. Marsh, the police station said the USB drive was empty, but | am sure it wasn’t empty when | sent it over." After hearing the news, Ivan instantly woke up.
But soon he came back to his senses, "Okay, | see." He didn't want to disturb the sleeping woman next to him, so he hung up the phone.
But Jennifer was already awake. "What happened?" No one would call so late normally.
"The backer showed up." Ivan told her, "I asked my people to send the USB drive that contains evidence of Leslie's crime to the police. But when they opened it, it was empty." This made Jennifer's heart skip a beat, "What? Is there a problem with the USB drive? Does it have a time limit?" "We'll go to the company tomorrow to check the other USB drive." But Ivan had a bad feeling.
Jennifer was also sleepless, "So what are we going to do now? Can Alfie help with this?" "Not necessarily. But if this is the case, the Youth Pub must have been prepared, the police wouldn't find any clues there. They are always prepared, that's why they can always escape from the law." "Let's see what happens on Friday. There is only one day before that." "Okay." Ivan called Finnley, "Are you asleep?" "No, what's the matter?" Finnley's voice was gentle.
Ivan briefly talked to him about the matter, and then asked, "Will Leslie's exes cause trouble?" "Don't worry, Mr. Marsh, those women have something in common, that is, they will do what they are asked to do once they are paid. | am sure they'll be helpful on Friday." "Okay." Ivan sighed softly, "Go to bed early, we will talk at the company tomorrow."
