Riley didn’t believe Jeffrey and replied, “Doesn’t matter to me if you look into Amelia or not. I’m just wondering why Amelia wants to keep their backgrounds hidden.”

Jeffrey arched his eyebrow. He wondered, ‘Is Amelia really not her mentor?‘

“Dig all you want if it’s just business,” Riley said with a half–shrug. “But if there’s anything personal in there, snooping’s going to make me look like an ungrateful brat.”

“Didn’t you say your mentor retired?” Jeffrey asked calmly.

“Yeah,” Riley replied.

“Since she’s retired, whatever’s on the internet has nothing to do with her anymore. If you want to dig something up, try it,” Jeffrey said.

“Okay,” Riley agreed.

“Go ahead,” Jeffrey said.

Riley glanced at the computer screen with the security feed, hesitated for a bit, then finally gave in and decided to help him out.

Amelia had a different name, so even if Jeffrey tried to follow the clues, there was no guarantee he’d dig up anything. Besides, Amelia had some connection to Riley, which was just Jeffrey’s guess.

“Hold up!” Jeffrey called out suddenly, just as Riley was about to switch the screen.

Riley asked casually, “What do you want to do?”

Jeffrey thought he saw something, but it flashed by too fast. “Rewind the footage two minutes,” he said.

Riley obeyed, eyes on the monitor where Rebecca chatted with the middle–aged stranger. Seeing nothing weird, she shot Jeffrey a sideways look and teased, “It’s just a normal conversation. Don’t tell me you’re even jealous of this?”

Jeffrey didn’t say a word. His gaze remained fixed on the surveillance camera, never straying from the two figures on screen.

Right then, that fleeting thought in his mind finally clicked into place, all those nagging questions suddenly making sense. Jeffrey wondered, ‘Why does that guy look so familiar? Now I get it.’

Watching his face, Riley shot him a sly look. She thought, ‘Is he seriously jealous right now?‘
