Byran quickly pulled out the cell phone from his drawer, found a USB cable to connect it to Balfourâs computer, then pulled out a flash drive and plugged it into the computer. His actions were smooth and practiced But just as he was about to back up the video files from his phone to the flash drive âWhat are you doing?â
Balfourâs deep voice suddenly echoed in the study Byran froze, lifting his head stiffly. I was just looking for some study materialsâ
Balfour squinted, âOn my computer? Donât you have your own?â
Byran was flustered, âUm⦠I just remembered a point I had forgotten to look up when I walked into your study I was afraid I might forget it again, so I used your computer .
While talking, Byran had quietly unplugged the USB cable and pocketed the celebâs phone Balfour, with a poker face, easily saw through his little trick. He stepped forward, extending a hand, âHand it overâ
Byran played innocent, but he was clearly uneasy, his gaze darting around, âHand over what?â
Anger flashed in Balfourâs eyes, âCaught in the act and still lying? Your grades donât improve, but youâve learned all these little tricks!â
At the mention of his grades. Byran felt deeply ashamed and knew he couldnât hide from Balfour any longer. He honestly took out the phone from his pocket, Iâm sorry I admit I took this phone, but I just wanted.â
Balfour took the phone, interrupted him, âNo matter what you were thinking, you should never twist right and wrong, or smear someone who once helped your grandfatherâ
Byran was taken aback, not understanding what Balfour meant, âWhat?â
Balfour snorted, âThose online stuff, do you think pixelating grandpaâs photo is enough? I pointed out Ellinor at the police station because I thought she hurt Patri, and we couldnât be lenient for Patriâs safety. Now that the police have cleared Ellinor, but youâre still trying to smear her? Arenât you afraid of making people think we, the Howards, are ungrateful?!*
Byran felt wronged, âWhat are you talking about? I didnât do those stuff online!â
Seeing Byranâs firm attitude, Balfour started to doubtâ¦.
âBalfour, Byran, whatâs going on? I was about to go downstairs for a drink and heard you two arguing?â
Patricia suddenly walked in wearing her nightgown, looking like she had rushed over at the noise Seeing his beloved Patricia, Byran immediately ran to her and complained, âHeâs being too much! He wrongfully accused me of posting stuff online to attack Ellinor!â After hearing this, Patricia frowned, patted Byranâs arm to comfort him, then turned to Balfour, âYou have no proof that Byran did this: What if youâre wrongâ¦â
Just then, Quinton walked in, reporting the latest investigation results, âWe found video editing software and the source file of the viral video on Byranâs desktop and laptop. along with the login record of the female celebâs Twitter accountâ
What?!
Byran finally realized that Balfour called him over just to transfer him away so Quinton could investigate his computer!
But how could his computer have those things Quinton mentioned? Thatâs impossible!
What on earth was going on?
