She initially considered turning off the video but then changed her mind, becoming increasingly interested in what she was watching. Unfortunately, the surveillance footage only had video, no audio, so Cheyenne couldn't gauge how seductive Nora's voice might be at this moment.
After watching for a few minutes, Cheyenne grew bored. Teagan was quite inventive, but he was clearly lacking stamina. He had taken a break after just over ten minutes. According to his profile, he kept multiple extramarital relationships while dating Jane, which likely explained his fatigue from "working day and night."
Cheyenne pulled out a small silver USB drive and plugged it into the computer's port, copying this video segment for herself. The copying process would take a little time.
She was feeling a bit tired.
Her slender hand reached into her coat pocket, retrieved a cigarette, and held it between two elegant fingers. She lit it using a vintage perfume bottle-shaped lighter, igniting a blue flame that looked especially eerie in the dim surveillance room. The reflection danced in her bright, enigmatic eyes, seemingly bottomless.
The scene shifted to the Berry Villa.
Jane had worked late until 8 PM, and after having dinner, she meticulously pampered herself with skincare and makeup. She put on a silky and sexy low-cut nightgown and had just lain down on the big bed, thinking of calling Teagan.
As she took out her phone, a multimedia message notification popped up.
It was a picture.
In the picture, a man was passionately embracing a young woman, and their embrace seemed intimate.
Even from the side view, she could recognize him - the man in the picture was none other than her fiance, Teagan.
It hadn't been long since their chance encounter at the lingerie store with Abbie, where Teagan had promised not to see other women.
Jane's heart sank. She had been cheated on again.
Jane promptly sat up in bed, her gaze fixed on the picture on her phone.
A taunting message followed: "the Vintage Club, Room 201, dare to come?"
Jane swiftly threw the covers aside, grabbed her black overcoat from the wardrobe, and left the room. She was determined to confront Teagan.
In the living room downstairs, Mrs. Berry was watching a flower arrangement tutorial on TV while practicing floral arrangements herself. The table was cluttered with trimmed flower leaves and some unused fresh flowers.
Mrs. Berry's peripheral vision caught a hurried figure rushing down the stairs. She raised an eyebrow in slight surprise and inquired, "At this hour, where are you off to?"
Jane, with her eyes reddened and a face filled with anger, responded coldly, "There's a work issue at the company, and I need to go back and handle it."
Hearing this, Mrs. Berry frowned, and she used her scissors to snip off a large portion of the rose stem with too many leaves. The thorns on it almost hurt her hand.
"Your company always seems to have something going on - either late hours or some urgent matter. Go on then, but come back soon. I'll have the maid warm up some milk for you."
"Okay," Jane replied. She hadn't told her mother the truth; she didn't want to let her mother know about Teagan's affairs. Her mother was never very understanding about such things and would likely say something like "Few men are faithful; just look at your dad."
When Cody was young, he had gone through a reckless phase of promiscuity, and it had happened when Mrs. Berry had just given birth to Jane, a girl, which disappointed him.
The doctor had also announced that it would be difficult for Jane's mother to conceive again.
