Chapter 173

“I hope you’ll be happy,” Hailey said with a smile as she waved at Mattie.

Mattie smiled slightly, waved back, and then grabbed her luggage as she left the hospital.

Hailey watched Mattie’s back as she walked away–graceful, confident, and beautiful. Hailey couldn’t help but smile faintly.

She had to admit, she admired Mattic. The woman was capable, brave, and incredibly clever.

Hailey looked down at the USB drive in her hand, her curiosity piqued by what it might contain.

“What’s going on?” Owen walked over and stood beside her, asking.

Hailey smiled lightly and said, “Nothing. We might need to stop by somewhere before we head home.”

Owen raised an eyebrow.

Hailey led Owen to an internet café across the street from the hospital. She quickly plugged the USB into the computer, scanned its contents, and then immediately unplugged it.

Inside, there were documents detailing Aiden’s embezzlement of company funds and his tax evasion–more than a hundred pages of evidence. But there was something else too: a video.

The video was about Rose’s death.

Hailey had suspected that Aiden might be involved in Rose’s death, but she had no proof–just a hunch. But this video was different. It was clear, undeniable evidence of Aiden’s crime.

It showed him hitting her with a bottle, dragging her into a basement, and then dumping her body in the middle of the night. Every action was caught on film in vivid detail.

Aiden must have thought his actions were unnoticed.

Hailey took a deep breath and pulled the USB from the computer.

She really had to thank Mattie for this. It was like she’d been nodding off, and someone had handed her a pillow.

Looking around, Hailey pulled out a mask and hat from her bag. “Owen, I need to take care of something. Wait for me here.”
