FULL NOVELXO Chapter 63
Chapter 63
Quintin frowned and did not say a word.
Caroline sucered. “There’s actually a photo of your stepmother hidden in Peter’s room. What does it mean? Could it be that the two of them had an affair?”
Quintin turned his well–defined face and complained, “I didn’t know you were such a gossip.”
Caroline put away the photo and continued searching. As she searched, she said, “Women are naturally gossipy. By the way. you, the eligible bachelor and the dignified CEO of Quinton Corporation in Jipsdale, don’t even have a rumored girlfriend. Do you know what people say about you?”
“Say what?”
“They said that you can’t do it. What a shame!”
Caroline’s understated remark successfully irritated Quintin. It was fine to abuse him, but they were absolutely not allowed to insult his male dignity!
“How dare you listen to such rumors!”
Not to be outdone, Quintin said, “It’s a matter of minutes if I want it. Those women who like me can circle the world three times. But not everyone is qualified to be my woman!”
Last time, Caroline said that many young hunks were chasing after her, and Quintin could not lose to her!
Caroline did not answer him because she heard a different sound when she knocked on a wall.
She tried again. After confirming the location, she uncovered the painting on the wall and found that there was indeed at little secret compartment on the wall. Its surface was made of wood, so it made a hollow sound when Caroline hit it.
Caroline opened the wooden block and saw a small square pit had been chiseled into the wall. An oil paper bag was hidden in it.
She took out the oiled paper bag and opened it. Inside was something that looked like a USB flash drive.
“Quintin, I found something else!” Caroline said excitedly.
“What is it?”
“It’s like a USB flash drive. It’s chiseled into the wall and well hidden. I’m guessing there must be something inside. It might be a valuable clue!”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go back and take a look!”
Caroline pushed Quintin back to Tanglevine Residence.
After returning to their residence, Quintin said, “I have a computer in my room. Go to my room and take a look!” Seeing that he was pointing at a place on the first floor, Caroline pushed him over. After entering the room, she asked, “When did you move downstairs?”
“Today! The computer is on the table. Turn it on yourself!” said Quintin.
Caroline turned on the computer and connected the USB flash drive. After clicking on it, she said, “There’s a video file inside.”
“Open it.”
Caroline clicked on the document. At first, it was a silent black screen opening. The two of them began to listen quietly until a voice came from inside the video.
There was a woman’s voice, followed by a man’s voice. The computer had its own external function. After the voice was amplified, it was especially clear.
They were both a little embarrassed when they heard what it meant.
“What the hell are you playing?”
Quintin tugged at his collar and asked in frustration.
Not only did Caroline hear the sound of the video, but she also saw it, which was a thing that was not proper to describe.
After all this time, this was what Peter hid so secretly?
Caroline’s cheeks started to heat up, and she quickly turned it off.
Perhaps it was because she was in a hurry that she clicked on it several times without closing it. The voice still had a strong penetrating power.

It was not until Caroline successfully turned off the video that the voice disappeared.
Quintin felt annoyed at the moment. It was an indescribable feeling.
Damn it!
“Is the air conditioner off?”
“I’ll turn it on!”
Caroline turned on the air conditioner. She also needed some cold air.
“Is that what was on Peter’s flash drive? Are you sure you didn’t play it on purpose?”
Quintin even suspected the woman was deliberately playing that kind of thing to seduce him.
Caroline didn’t expect him actually to suspect her.
“Am I that bored? Is there something wrong with me to play such a thing for someone who can’t move and is blind?”
“It’s hard to say. Maybe it’s because I’m handsome.”
When Caroline heard him say such shameless words, she could not help but want to applaud him.
He’s really something!
He was a narcissist, level 10 plus!
“I think you should go to the hospital and check your brain. There’s no cure for late–stage narcissistic cancer with hydraulics
Caroline glanced at him in disdain.
Quintin fully suspected the woman was not only cruel, but her words were even more venomous!
What a poisonous woman!
When Caroline thought of the face she had glimpsed in the video, she felt it looked familiar. Therefore, Caroline muted it and turned it back on for a closer look.
The screen was paused. Caroline looked at the woman on it seriously and finally made a significant discovery.
The woman in the video was none other than the young Carmen before her plastic surgery. And Caroline looked closely at the man. If he wasn’t Peter, who was he?
Therefore, it could be seen from the video that Peter had known Carmen for a long time. The two of them even had an
affair.
Peter had cherished the video until now. Did he want to keep the evidence, or was it just a reminder to miss Carmen?
With the current identity of Carmen, after all, she was way out of Peter’s league.
“Hey, did you mute it and secretly play it yourself?”
Quintin could not be seen but could hear the gent click of the mouse.
That was indeed the case. Caroline closed the video and exited the USB flash drive. She solemnly told Quintin, “I might have found out the truth!”
“How so?”
“I just studied the video again and realized that the women in the video are your stepmother being with Peter. How is it? Does it sound exciting?
“Carmen with Peter?”
An odd expression appeared on Quintin’s face. Although he did not recognize the identity of Carmen, Carmen held the title of the first lady in the Ziegler family.
Carmen actually did such a thing with a servant. How surprising!
“Well…”
Quintin suddenly let out a strange laugh at the thought of something. “What’s so funny about it? How can you still laugh?” asked Caroline.
“Of course! Give me the USB flash drive!”
Quintin reached out. Getting hold of the USB flash drive meant he had the evidence of someone.
Caroline handed the USB flash drive to him and said, “Now that you’ve found these things, can it prove that the person who instructed Peter to release the snake to harm you is highly likely to be Carmen?
“Once you’re dead, it’s in her and her children’s best interest to take over. So she’s the most likely suspect. What do you
Chapter 63 think?”
Caroline stated her deduction. Quintin rubbed his perfect chin and said faintly, “You’re not so stupid.”
Tsk… Did he think he was the only smart one?
“So what are you going to do now? Are you going to expose her?” Caroline asked.
Quintin said, “Do you think you can identify the real culprit behind the scenes with only a video?”
Quintin continued to analyze. “The video was found in Peter’s room. At most, it can prove that they had an affair.
“That woman could say she had been forced and threatened by Peter. She could even push everything to Peter.
*After all, Peter is dead. There’s no evidence to prove the truth of her words.”
Caroline was silent. It was indeed a little thin. Everything was just their association and deduction.
Not only would Carmen retort, but she was likely to bite back.
They had to have more favorable evidence if they wanted the real culprit behind the scenes to be revealed.
While they were all thinking, Flynn came in from outside and reported, “Mr. Ziegler, bad news. Something happened at Mrs. Ziegler’s side!”
