Chapter 4

Jonathan asked Millard to investigate the woman who jumped out of the window that day, so Millard

immediately checked the surveillance footage of the Sapphire Hotel

Oddly enough, there was a blank space in the footage between 7 and 9 PM Even the hotel’s security personnel couldn’t explain. They could only guess that the internet connection might have been lost at that time.

But Millard still found someone-Hattie.

Hattie was a small-time actress going for an innocent and gentle image, never quite making it big She was seen entering the Sapphire Hotel at 6:50 PM yesterday, heading towards the Pearl Place. After that, there was a gap in the surveillance footage, so it wasn’t clear which room she went to

At 9:05 PM, Hattie’s agent helped her exit from the Pearl Place. She was limping with a pain-filled expression, clearly injured.

Since the footage after that was gone, Millard took some time to find out which hospital Hattie was staying at. She had undergone surgery on her left leg the night before.

Millard had also checked her medical records: it was a fall injury.

Hope Hospital

In VIP room 706, the woman lying on the bed clasped her hands together, looking uneasy at Jonathan sitting on the sofa across from her. “Mr. Lamont, may I help you?”

“How did you hurt your leg?” Jonathan asked nonchalantly.

Hattie, with her leg in a cast, hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

“You don’t have to hide it. I had someone check the surveillance footage. Last night around 9 o’clock, your agent helped you get into a car and leave. Your leg was already broken at that time. You’re the one who jumped out of my room that night, right?” Jonathan’s tone was as indifferent as ever.

Since there were no cameras facing the guests’ room windows in the Sapphire Hotel due to privacy concerns, it was unclear where Hattie had jumped from. However, her movements were consistent with the events of that night.

Hattie was momentarily stunned, then glanced over with confusion in her eyes, her mind already working on a plan.
