Chapter 357

"This video's a bit off," the tech guy replied, sliding the progress bar back and forth. He discovered a two-hour gap in the surveillance footage from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM and was so shocked that his hands were shaking as he clutched his

phone.

Brandon also sensed something fishy, "What is it?"

"The footage from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM on the 17th is missing, just vanished." The tech guy replied with a quiver in his voice, double-checking the video and even the cloud storage, but it was the same story - the footage was wiped clean. Brandon swallowed the anger bubbling up inside him and asked with a frosty tone, "Has anyone been near the surveillance room lately?"

"No one during my shift."

The tech guy answered nervously. The surveillance room was connected to the security office, operated with a 24-hour shift system, and he was pretty sure no one had come by during his watch.

"Nobody's clocking out today until we get to the bottom of this."

After laying down the law with a chilly voice, Brandon cut the call short.

Theresa, who was busy with her own things, definitely felt the tension in the air and looked up, puzzled, at Brandon.

"Daddy?" She called out to Brandon hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

Brandon cracked a smile at her, "Nothing."

Then he told her, "Theresa, you hang out here with Grace for a bit, okay? Daddy needs to step outside to make a phone call."

He didn't want Theresa to see him getting emotional with his staff.

Theresa nodded obediently, "Okay."

Brandon picked up his phone and stepped outside to call Kent.

Just as he made the call, he heard Kent's baffled voice behind him, "Mr. Crawley?"

And with it, a slightly excited female voice, "Brandon?"

Turning around, Brandon saw Kent coming out of the meeting room, followed by Tia, and his brow instantly furrowed.

Tia, unfazed by his icy look, walked up with her arms full of documents and cheerfully said, "Brandon, we meet again."

Brandon's gaze skipped right over Tia and landed on Kent, "What's she doing here?"

Kent glanced awkwardly at Tia, then back at Brandon, "Your dad brought her in as legal personnel."

Tia was surprised, "Ah? Mr. Crawley is your actual dad?"

"Mr. Crawley" was what she called Daniel.

Daniel was the head honcho of the current travel and resort subsidiary, and

everyone there referred to him as Mr. Crawley.

Brandon didn't look at her, and just kept his eyes on Kent, "The subsidiary doesn't need legal personnel. Once the work handover is complete, compensate and dismiss as per the labor contract."

Kent, getting the drift of what Brandon was aiming at and worried Tia might press her luck, quickly smiled at her, "Ms. Temple, why don't you head back to the office?"

Ignoring him, Tia turned to Brandon, visibly upset, "Brandon, I haven't screwed up my job. On what grounds can you just fire me like that? Is this how Starlight Group treats its employees?"
