Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 623 The Snake Behind the Mask

“Oh. By the way, I’ve looked into the incident you asked me to investigate.” Harper noticed that Elspeth’s expression was slightly grim, so he chose his words carefully. “Joella got into an accident while on the way to the airport, but the other vehicle was a truck without a license plate. According to the eyewitnesses, the truck was empty too. It means that the driver fled the truck before the crash.”

“What about the nearby surveillance cameras? Have you looked into the footage yet?”

He shook his head in response. “For some reason, all the surveillance cameras along that road were down during that time.”

“Without the surveillance footage, does that mean there’s no way to identify the perpetrator?”

After hearing that, Harper sighed. “Not quite. It means solid evidence will be hard to come by, and even if you do, it won’t amount to much. Also, we won’t be able to link it to the mastermind behind it.”

At that moment, Elspeth felt despondent after hearing what he had reported. “All right. You should head back to the company if there’s nothing else.”

“Miss Elspeth, I came across one useful piece of information.”

“What is it?”

“The driver’s last known location was a cafe near Alphascape Group.”

When she heard that, her expression hardened. “I see.”

Meanwhile, at Alphascape Group, Yena was sitting on the couch leisurely reading the newspaper when her office door was forcibly pushed open. So, she turned around nonchalantly as if she had anticipated this.
