Chapter 295: Chapter 288
Emily Parker’s fingertips slid gently across the phone screen as she squinted slightly, enlarging the familiar figure on the surveillance footage.
The image of Evan Palr appeared particularly eerie.
Emily’s lips curled into a cold smile. Her usually gentle eyes now sparkled with sharpness, like two gleaming daggers.
The intercom phone on her desk suddenly rang, breaking the silence of the office with its crisp tone.
Emily frowned slightly, shifting her gaze from the phone screen and picked up the receiver, “Hello?”
Carlos’s voice ca from the other end, reminding her of a eting in ten minutes.
Emily backed up the video to an encrypted cloud, her fingers swiped lightly across the phone screen, deleting the records on her phone.
The movent was swift and decisive, leaving no traces behind.
Though her marriage with Carlos was in na only, the Carter Clan had always treated her well.
Mrs. Carter, in particular, almost looked after her as if she were her own daughter. Mrs. Carter’s gentleness and kindness often ward Emily’s heart.
Yet Evan Palr, who seed upright and authoritative on the surface, secretly committed the vile act of stealing his daughter’s study materials.
Emily’s heart was filled with anger and disappointnt, but she knew it wasn’t the ti to expose him yet.
She needed to know Evan Palr’s true intentions behind stealing those materials. Was it simple favoritism, or was there a bigger conspiracy hidden beneath?
After leaving Cloud Lake Villa, Evan Palr went about his days as usual, going to work.
However, this ti, he didn’t go straight ho but drove to his daughter’s school.
On campus, the setting sun cast a golden veil over the school buildings.
Evan Palr entered the school and went straight to Alia Willow’s classroom.
“Dad, did you bring the materials?”
Seeing Evan Palr, Alia Willow happily ran up to him.
She was wearing a school uniform, her hair pulled into a high ponytail, her face lit up with anticipation.
Evan Palr affectionately patted his daughter’s hand, a gentle smile appearing on his face,
“Of course, when has your dad ever let you down?”
He took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Alia Willow.
“These are Maria Carter’s recent study materials.”
Alia Willow’s eyes brightened, eagerly taking the USB drive,
“With these, I can surely top the college entrance exams.”
Evan Palr nodded in satisfaction,
“You’re much smarter than Maria, only missing a good learning environnt. But be careful, you can’t let these materials leak.”
“I know, I’ll keep them safe.”
Alia interrupted him, “You can trust .”
After reminding her further, Evan Palr left. As soon as he left, Alia’s obedient deanor vanished, replaced by a sly smile.
She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed a number,
“Hello, Charles Pond? I have sothing good to show you!”
Charles Pond’s excited voice ca from the other line: “Tell , what’s the good stuff?”
Alia Willow lowered her voice, speaking mysteriously, “You’ll know when you see it.”
The two returned to their shared apartnt. In the apartnt, Alia eagerly plugged the USB drive into the computer.
On the computer screen, folder after folder opened, revealing their contents.
Alia proudly pointed to the screen.
“Look, exclusive study materials from Heavenly Tutors Academy.”
Charles Pond leaned closer to the screen, his eyes widening: “How did you get these?”
“I had soone acquire them.”
Alia said indifferently.
Charles Pond quickly browsed through the files, suddenly excitedly slapping his thigh,
“Alia, we’re going to be rich! Do you know how much these materials can sell for on the black market?”
Alia raised an eyebrow,
“What do you an?”
“Kids from rich families at surrounding schools are willing to pay anything for good grades.”
Charles Pond lowered his voice,
“A set of mock exams could sell for a five-digit sum!”
Alia’s eyes lit up,
“You an… we’re going to sell these materials?”
“Absolutely!”
Charles Pond already started planning,
“We can print several copies and sell to different people.”
The two exchanged a knowing smile, greed flashing in their eyes.
In the following days, Alia Willow and Charles Pond began secretly selling these “exclusive study materials.”
They contacted buyers through encrypted chat software, choosing suburban cafes or libraries for transactions, collecting cash each ti, leaving no electronic traces.
Alia wore a black trench coat and a pair of large sunglasses, looking mysterious and low-key.
She sat in a corner of the café, a cup of untouched coffee in front of her.
Opposite her, a bespectacled rich girl was anxiously waiting.
Alia took out a USB drive from her bag and handed it to the rich girl,
“These are the latest study materials from the top tutors hired by the Carter Clan; you won’t find a second copy elsewhere.”
The rich girl accepted the USB drive, eagerly opening it to check its contents.
Having confird it, she decisively pulled out a stack of bills,
“I’ll take it. Next ti you have sothing new, contact first.”
Alia smiled as she accepted the money, inwardly mocking the foolishness of these people.
She checked her bank account balance, thinking about all the money she could spend on the most expensive skincare products and branded bags.
She and Charles Pond had already earned millions from selling these materials, and this was just the beginning.
anwhile, Emily Parker’s monitoring system alerted her again.
She put down the files in her hand and quickly opened her phone. The screen showed Evan Palr sneaking into Maria Carter’s room once again.
Emily leaned back in her chair, piecing together various clues in her mind: Evan Palr frequently visiting the Willow Family, placing Adam Willow in key positions at Carter Clan, and now stealing his daughter’s study materials.
Her fingers tapped lightly on the desk, a chilly glint in her eyes.
Suddenly, she recalled her first encounter with Evan Palr, when she felt he looked sowhat familiar.
At that ti, she didn’t think much about it, attributing it to Carlos’s resemblance with Evan Palr.
But now, thinking about it, Carlos and his sister didn’t really resemble Evan Palr.
The reason Evan Palr seed familiar was because Alia Willow and Evan Palr shared so similarities in their facial features, especially their eyes, looking almost like father and daughter.
“Looks like it’s ti to arrange a parentage test between Evan Palr and the Willow Family.”
She rembered Maria Carter’s innocent, cheerful smile and Mrs. Carter’s affection, sighing deeply.
Maria Carter’s admiration for her father was so pure, but if she knew the truth… Emily tightened her fist.
As the Carter Clan’s daughter-in-law, as Maria Carter’s sister-in-law, she couldn’t sit idly by.
Yet, it was too early to expose the truth; she needed more solid evidence and a full understanding of the entire conspiracy.
“The ga has just begun, Evan Palr, if you truly wronged Mrs. Carter,”
Emily’s eyes flashed coldly, “I will make you pay for your betrayal.”
