Justin’s jaw clenched, anxious for both Coral and Bella.
However, his hacking skills were limited to the five-minute mark. So, he was unable to be of much help.
At times like this, he had to depend on his beloved Bella.
…
The sound of rushing water echoed from the bathroom.
Coral stared fixedly at the progress bar on the screen. It had reached 50%.
Her heart pounded wildly, almost reaching her throat.
If James discovered she had tampered with his computer tonight, that beast would surely kill her.
60%, 70%, 80%...
Just as the progress bar reached 90%, it suddenly stopped.
At the same time, the water sound from the bathroom stopped too.
In an instant, Coral’s heart raced. She was drenched in a cold sweat from head to toe.
When she heard James’ footsteps approaching the bathroom door, her heart sank in despair.
She thought, ‘My life is over…’
However, just as the bathroom door opened, that last 10% loaded in an instant, and the dialog box disappeared from the screen.
Coral quickly unplugged the USB drive and threw it into the deepest corner of the bookshelf.
Her nervous heart finally settled, and a relieved smile crept onto her lips.
…
That night, Bella and Justin stayed up all night, watching the videos stored on James’ computer.
