Chapter 418

Jo didn't waste any time. He flipped open his tablet right away, and up popped a grid of faces caught on hidden security cameras-some close-ups, some wide shots.

The entire estate, inside and out, was covered with cameras. Not that anyone would notice they were all concealed, practically invisible unless you knew exactly what you were looking for, or you were intimately familiar with the estate's layout.

Even the perimeter was under Jo's watchful eye.

Miranda hadn't said much, but Jo clearly had his suspicions about her background, and he definitely knew plenty of people-on both sides of the law- kept tabs on the young lady of the house.
