Chapter 1258 The Truth

Annika yanked up the surveillance footage from last night. The screen flickered on, showing a video drenched in shadows and steamy vibes. The scene was raw, leaving almost nothing to the imagination. Arya leaned in, eyes wide. "Who... Who is this?" she stammered, disbelief all over her face.

"Looks like Joe's room," Annika said, squinting at the footage. "That's Joe, and the woman..." She gasped, covering her mouth. "It's Barbara!"

"No freakin' way, what's going on here?" Arya's shock turned her voice into a hushed whisper.

Annika quickly turned down the volume and looked away, covering her eyes. Sadie, though, stayed focused, her face unreadable. "Copy and save the video," she ordered, her voice cool and steady.

"Ms. James, what's happening?" Arya asked, curiosity piqued.

"Could it be last night," Annika speculated, "No, you were in the room last night too? Did they do this right in front of you..."

"Rewind the video," Sadie instructed, "Go back to the part where Barbara is pouring water and see if there's anything fishy."
