Despite all the hard work, they still didn''t find anything conclusive. When they tried to retrieve the surveince footage, they noticed signs of tampering. It took a lot of effort from the tech team to restore and recover it.


    Running a hand through his hair, As couldn''t help but ask, "Miss Mira, who is this Paul guy, really?"


    Mirabe was already flipping through the documents she pulled from the folder. She skimmed through them quickly, and only when she reached thest page did she look up to respond, "An old friend."


    Thinking back to the elderly man in the footage, who looked like the very picture of wisdom, calling him an old friend seemed urate enough. As didn''t ask further about how Miss Mira knew him.


    Instead, he pointed to a USB drive in the folder, "Oh, and Miss Mira, one of the surveince clips was restored by my team."


    Mirabe responded with a slight narrowing of her eyes.


    Morgan, besides mastering a smartphone, was clueless about advanced tech, let alone erasing surveince records. Gathering her thoughts, Mirabe put the documents back into the folder, "Got it, thanks, As."


    "No need to thank me, Miss Mira. Just doing my job," As said with a friendly smile, adding, "I''ll keep tabs on this Paul."


    "Alright," Mirabe nodded.


    "If there''s nothing else, I''ll head out."


    As had been pretty busytely. Since Ben got bailed out, he vanished without a trace, with no leads either at home or abroad.


    Given the mystery surrounding


    As couldn''t let his guard down until he was found.


    Watching As drive away, Mirabe entered her house. Marian was in the kitchen, cooking dinner. After ncing in, Mirabe took the documents and went upstairs.


    Soon, she plugged the USB into herputer. There were five videos on it, and she patiently watched each one. They were a bit long, so she yed them at a faster speed.


    After finishing thest clip, she reyed and paused on a specific frame. Paul had just entered a


    coffee shop, followed by a n


    guy


    wearing sunsses. Once inside, neither of them was seen leaving.


    The man with sunsses wasn''t captured from the front, and his slim build made it hard to guess his age.


    Thisst clip was the one As mentioned had been restored, marking thest ce Morgan was seen, near a pharmacy association.


    Resting her chin on her hand, Mirabe stared intently at the screen, deep in thought. Lots of people came and went in the coffee shop, but aside from Morgan, this guy hadn''t shown up again.


    After pondering for a moment, Mirabe reyed the video, capturing the clearest side profile of the man and saving it. She then sent it to her phone.


    With the screenshot saved, she shut down herputer, no longer interested in the videos. She slumped back in her chair, lost in thought, hardly moving.


    It wasn''t until Marian knocked, calling her down for dinner, that she


    snapped back to reality. M


    paused, picked up her phone,


    opened Wyatt''s Messenger, and sent him the screenshot she''d saved.
