Chapter 137: A Trap

Tina paused in silence, reflecting meticulously on the potential flaws within the intricate trap that had been laid out. Suddenly, an idea struck her and she leaped to her feet, heading towards the exit. As she passed by Silas Blackwood, she brushed against him unintentionally.

She had just looked up when she was forcefully pulled away from Silas Blackwood. "Be careful," Jared Farrell said, holding her hand.

Silas Blackwood glanced briefly at their intertwined hands, nodded in an apologetic gesture, and walked away.

"Jared Farrell, do you have your laptop in the car?" Tina asked abruptly.

"No, it's at home," Jared Farrell shook his head.

"Then take me home now," Tina commanded, heading downstairs.

"What's wrong?" Jared inquired, following her.

Tina did not respond but silently rode in Jared Farrell's car back to the Blue Cove apartment complex. The moment she entered, she grabbed the laptop from the sofa and began reviewing the surveillance footage from Fast Food. The day before Amber had checked into her room, a young woman had also visited the room to catch a cheating spouse. Tina researched this woman thoroughly and discovered she had installed a hidden camera in the room, capturing her husband's infidelity. Immediately, Tina called Cole Lyon.

"Pass a message, let the police station release news that a hidden camera was found in the Fast Food room where the incident occurred."

Cole Lyon was efficient; within half an hour, the news was all over the internet, sparking discussions about the rape case at Fast Food and the discovered hidden camera, though no one knew who had installed it. The following afternoon, Tina received a call at school.

"Miss Reed, my name is Thaddeus Littlefield. I have the footage from that room," the young woman said straightforwardly. "The video can definitely prove your father's innocence. I'm asking for five million dollars for it."

"How did you get the video?" Tina asked directly.
