Chapter 908: Alina's Voice Was Synthesized

Tina shot a glance at Ruud, pretending not to hear his retort. She crossed her long legs, sitting on the sofa, and opened the third trending topic on social media. She was curious to see how River managed to stir up trouble this time. Clicking the post, she found a recording uploaded by someone. The audio played directly into the ears of both Alina and Ruud.

"What's going on between you and Jasper? Were you ever with him?"

"What does it matter to you if I was with Jasper? Who are you to ask?"

"I'm not interested in your personal affairs. I've been waiting for Ruud all these years..."

"Our grudges are between us. Why involve my brother?"

"You're family. If you've made mistakes, why can't your brother pay for them?"

Alina frowned and said in a low voice, "I never said such things. She's clearly using my voice."

Ruud's anger flared. "There's no way Alina would say this. This is obviously synthesized!"

Tina, still focused on the screen, looked at the uploaded file. Only the recording played, which led her to question aloud, "When she came in, wouldn't the security guards have checked her? Did she bring something even the Pace family's scanners couldn't detect?"

Hearing this, Ruud's gaze sharpened, instantly grasping Tina's implication. His tone turned icy. "Bring the two guards at the gate to me immediately!"

There were two possibilities: either the guards had been bribed by River to let her smuggle the recording device in, or River possessed something that even the Pace family's state-of-the-art detection systems couldn't pick up. The latter, however, was highly unlikely.

When the two guards arrived, Ruud exuded an overwhelming pressure, his aura like that of a lion preparing to strike. The guards exchanged uneasy glances, their nerves evident.
