Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 546

Chapter 546

"Why is the window open?"

Early in the morning, Mila felt a chill in the room. She noticed the bedroom window was ajar and muttered to herself as she walked over to close it, tossing the question over her shoulder to Adrian, who had just woken up.

"Adrian, did you or Miss Cara open the window yesterday? Remember to close it after airing out the room-sleeping with the window open at night can make you sick."

"No, we didn't," Adrian replied, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "We played downstairs all day. We never even came up here."

Really?

Mila's hand froze on the window latch.

She distinctly remembered shutting the window before leaving yesterday. No one

else had been home. If it wasn't Adrian or Cara... then who had done it?

A gust of cold air swept in, and a chill ran through her entire body.

Her scalp prickled.

"Adrian, go ahead and get washed up."

She closed the window and hurried straight to the study. The villa was equipped with surveillance cameras; Mila keyed in the password and pulled up the footage. Everything looked normal.

Absolutely normal.

But how could that be, when the window was open?

She was sure her memory hadn't failed her not on something as simple as this, and not just a day ago.

Determined, Mila pulled up the entire day's recordings and began reviewing them frame by frame. Time slipped by, and a cold sweat broke out on her skin. Something was wrong with the footage-there were signs it had been tampered with.
