Chapter 590 Surveince “Malfunction”
The security guard was drenched in sweat. “Ms…. Ms. Marie, the cameras really did break.”
At that moment, both the guard and the hotel manager looked like they were about to cry. They couldn’t say a word of truth.
Ste narrowed her eyes at them in silence.
“They really were broken,” the guard stammered.
Internally, he was already weeping.
<i>What </i><i>kind </i><i>of </i><i>karma </i>did <i>I </i>walk <i>into</i>? <i>Each </i><i>one </i><i>of </i><i>them </i><i>is </i><i>scarier </i><i>than </i><i>the </i><ist</i><i>. </i>
But the moment he thought about how that person had threatened him at gunpoint–how they’d even used his family to pressure him–his gut clenched. He really might cry.
Ste brushed her fingers over her polished nails. “Last chance. Who deleted the footage?”
She lifted her eyes slowly, the chill in her gaze enough to freeze bone.

The security guard met her eyes–and copsed to his knees in panic. “It wasn’t deleted! I swear it wasn’t! The system just broke!”
Ste picked up the
gun.

The entire room went silent. As she raised it and pointed straight at him, the security guard screamed, arms over his head, eyes squeezed shut. “It’s broken! I swear! Even if you kill me, it’s still broken!”
The hotel manager jumped in. “Please, Ms. Marie! This isn’t necessary–the cameras really are just broken!”
“This is a serious failing on our part. We’llpensate you, I swear.”
Faced with Ste’s deceptively sweet but deadly pressure, the manager and guard were rambling in pure
terror.
Marie let out a coldugh. “I was assaulted, you want topensate me? How, exactly?”
“H–How… topensate…”
<i>Yeah</i>. <i>That </i>was <i>the </i><i>question</i>.

Usually people book a room and <i>willingly </i>do that kind of thing. But this? She’d been assaulted while staying in the hotel.
What the hell kind of disaster had this turned into?

The manager’s spine was soaked with cold sweat. He waspletely numb.
Marie stepped forward and lightly pressed Ste’s wrist. “Forget it. Looks like the system really was broken.”

The way they looked–they were practically ghosts already, and still hadn’t coughed up any answers. That meant it probably was broken.
Ste agreed. <i>Anyone </i><i>willing </i>to risk <i>death </i><i>just </i><i>to </i><i>keep </i><i>quiet</i><i>? </i><i>Probably </i><i>telling </i><i>the </i><i>truth</i>.
So she lowered the gun.
Both the guard and the manager exhaled deeply in unison.
“Get out,” Marie snapped.
Compensate? What, with money? Or maybe offer up someone else’s virginity?
She didn’t care about money, and as for her virginity–how would anyone make up for that?
The manager and guard practically fled like they’d been granted a royal pardon.
Once it was just the two of them, Ste nced at Marie. “It really was probably broken.”
“Mm.”
Marie sounded drained.
<i>What </i><i>a </i><i>nightmare</i>. <i>That </i><i>bastard </i><i>better </i><i>pray </i><i>I </i><i>never </i><i>find </i><i>him</i>, or I’ll <i>tear </i><i>him </i><i>limb </i><i>from </i><i>limb</i>.
“I might have another way,” Ste said.
“You do?” Marie perked up a little..
Ste nodded. “Street surveince.”
“I don’t even know who the hell it was–what’s there to look for? This is a hotel. Do you know how many peoplee and go?”
Street surveince? Sounded like a long shot.
Ste looked at the red marks on Marie’s neck. “I think it might’ve been someone you know.”
<i>What</i>? Someone she knew?
<i>Is </i><i>she </i>serious? What idiot I <i>know </i><i>would </i><i>be </i><i>dumb </i><i>enough </i><i>to </i><i>do </i><i>this </i>to <i>me</i><i>? </i>
Still, if it really was someone familiar–then that would make things easier.
Didn’t matter what kind of ‘familiar‘ they were. She’d tear them apart all the same.
Back at Derrick’s vi-
Sebastian, Ashley, and Luo Tie were all there, faces pale as ghosts, reeling from what had just happened.

Derrick sat there, a cigar between his fingers, cold fury seeping from every inch of him.
Of the group, his expression was by far the worst.
He’d been dragged home by Sebastian and Ashley, who’d handled the whole “situation.”
From beginning to end, Derrick hadn’t spoken a single word.
Sebastian hesitated. “Should you… I don’t know… call that demon and ask how she’s doing?”
He was sweating, too.
When they’d heard the soundsing from the room earlier, they’d all gone stiff with fear.
If Marie had woken up and caught them–today would’ve been their funeral.
They didn’t have time to think. They just grabbed Derrick and ran for their lives…
Three full–grown men running for their lives–what kind of joke was this?
But now Derrick was being told to call her?
He shot Sebastian a re so cold it made the guy shiver.
Sebastian cleared his throat. “Or…. maybe not. Wait, don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about going to that demon and admitting it?”
A man gets drunk, does something like that, and then runs away–if word got out, the shame would be real.
But they had no choice…
If it had been any other woman, they could’ve smoothed things over. But this?
This was Marie.
