Chapter 952 Checking the Surveillance Footage
Nicole lowered her gaze. I don't buy it. Evelyn can't have become a nicer person all of a sudden.
Narrowing her eyes, she tilted her head to look at Colton before asking, "Do you think Evelyn has tried
to avoid arousing suspicion in this matter by going on a vacation at the exact same moment?"
Colton put a hand on Nicole's shoulder when he saw the doubt on her face. He chuckled before
adding, "It's possible."
He believes every word I say. She sat upright and asked, "Don't you think I'm slandering her?"
"I don't. I believe your judgment," he answered.
Nicole kept quiet about it. After pondering for a moment, she continued, "I feel like checking the
surveillance footage. Since Hayden didn't go out at all, I believe somebody broke in. And if the servants
hadn't noticed anything unusual, the person might have broken in at midnight."
"Okay. I'll ask Beryl to come over and run an investigation." Colton nodded. There are too many
surveillance cameras around. Even if we're only looking for clues in the last twenty-four hours, it isn't an

Nicole kept staring at the ground. When she suddenly recalled something, she raised her head. "By the
way, there's one more thing. You should ask them to pay extra attention to the time. I suspect there's a
hacker involved in this matter, and he might have made it a freeze frame. After all, it's nighttime. It's
understandable if nobody enters or leaves the place, and we won't even suspect it."
Colton's eyes shone at her reminder. Squeezing her shoulder, he replied in a tone laced with
excitement, "I almost forget how clever you are, Nicky. I'll let Beryl know your theory and have them
reinvestigate things right away."
Nicole had nothing to add to that. The idea only came to mind in the first place because her son was
also a hacker. Back when he was hacking other people's surveillance cameras, he always froze the
frame. Therefore, even if someone was passing through the range of the surveillance cameras, the
camera wouldn't capture anything.
According to Colton, Beryl was an expert in this field. If even an expert like him suspects nothing about
the footage, the hacker we're facing this time might be a tougher opponent than I imagine.
Nicole knew a thing or two about computer science but was nowhere near Hayden's level. At first,
Whitney was responsible for teaching him. As time passed, Hayden started to teach himself due to the
fact that he was a fast learner.
"If someone has messed with the footage, it's probably a hacker. Ask Beryl and his men to look for a
capable hacker who can retrieve the footage," Nicole eventually added after another pause.
Truth be told, she was well aware that it was impossible to retrieve the lost footage. After all, they have
to be well-prepared before initiating an attack.
Colton hummed a response and called Beryl.
Half an hour later, a group of men in suits showed up. Fortunately, they aren't wearing any fedoras, or
else they can give people the impression of mafias, Nicole mused.
The leader of the group was a handsome man in a black trench coat, who looked a little tired as a
result of traveling. He was even carrying a black briefcase, giving Nicole the false impression of him

She remembered him. Colton introduced them to each other in the karaoke lounge last time.
Beryl's eyes landed on Nicole, who was standing beside Colton, and a flicker of amusement flashed
through his eyes. He approached the pair with a smile and greeted her in a casual tone, "So we meet
again, Mrs. Gardner."
Nicolo frowned slightly at the way he addressed her and protested, "Don't 'Mrs. Gardner' me. I'm not."
Beryl brushed off the words with a laugh. After that, he shot Colton a meaningful look and clicked his
tongue. "It seems like President Gardner has a long way to go."
Colton's expression sank at the words. He surged to his feet and fixed Beryl with a glare before adding
coldly, "Enough with this nonsense. You're here for a job. I've told you the necessaries on the phone.
Ask your men to check on the surveillance footage."
A serious look replaced the casual expression on Beryl's face earlier when Colton cut to the chase, and
he nodded. "Will do, but do keep in mind that if I can't manage to find anything unusual in the footage,
we'll have to prepare to face a tough opponent."
