Chapter 13


    At thekeside vi, Stanley Carlson stood in front of Matthew with reverence written all over his face


    when he promised, “Mr. Larson, please don’t worry because I’ll do it well for you!”


    Matthew nodded and waved at Stanley, who left immediately after that. He called Stanley over this time


    to assign him with a task of carrying out an investigation on Sasha. He did not want to have a fall-out


    with her but at the same time, he was not interested in hearing her exnation. Therefore, he decided


    to let Stanley get to the bottom of it and get himself some concrete proof, so that he could put an end to


    the marriage with a rightful excuse.


    Not long after Stanley left the vi, he received a call from Helen. “Matthew, the 70th birthday


    celebration of Old Master Cunningham will be held tomorrow night. Go and borrow the Maybach you


    drove thest time so that you can drive us to the venue tomorrow with the car!” Helen hung up on him


    immediately without giving him a chance to talk.


    Holding the phone, he couldn’t help but put on a bitter smile. Was he some sort of a tool to the


    Cunninghams? On one side, they were trying so hard to persuade him to get a divorce with Sasha. On


    the other side, they were asking him to borrow the car purely for reasons of vanity, so that they could


    look good at the family gathering.


    Speaking of tomorrow, he suddenly remembered one thing—wasn’t Sasha also having her birthday on


    the same day? Sasha and Old Master Cunningham had both their birthdays on the same day, but


    everyone only paid attention to thetter. Basically, no one celebrated Sasha’s birthday every year


    because of that.


    Over the past three years, Matthew was the only one who cared or even remembered. Although


    penniless, he would start preparing for her birthday gift one month in advance and put in a painstaking


    effort to do some handicrafts for her as a present. She did not really take them seriously, but he always


    made sure to do the best he could in preparing the gifts. The rest of the family, including her parents,


    had their entire attention focused on Old Master Cunningham.


    In hindsight, he felt silly by making so much effort over the past three years. Sometimes he would think,


    Are all of these worthwhile? However, that was not important anymore because everything would be


    put to an end soon.


    …


    On the following night at seven o’clock, Stanley rushed to the vi that Matthew was staying at, who


    had just had a sleepless and restless night. “Mr. Larson, I’ve finally got to the bottom of everything!”


    There was something weird about Stanley’s expression as he looked like he was holding back from


    revealing the truth to him.


    “What have you got?” Matthew asked him curiously.


    “Mr. Larson, I-I think you might have misunderstood Miss Cunningham!” Stanley muttered.


    “Have I?” Mattthew widened his eyes in doubt. How did that happen? He witnessed everything with his


    own eyes and heard it with his own ears.

    “Mr. Larson, I know you must be puzzled. Why don’t you take a look at this first?” Stanley took out a


    pendrive, put it into aptop and clicked on one of the videos in the file.


    “This is the CCTV footage which showed the corridors of the hotel yesterday which was sent by my


    men. Please take a look at it first.”


    Matthew fixed his eyes on the screen, which was showing the corridor of the 20th floor of Hotel


    Marriott. From the angle of the footage, the door of Room 2018 could be seen clearly. After some time,


    a couple who was cuddling each other emerged along the corridor as they made their way to Room


    2018. The man was the one who Matthew hade across the other day.


    Matthew couldn’t help but be stunned at the sight of the couple. So, did that mean that that guy was


    with anotherdy inside the room on that day? He continued watching the footage and after a while, he


    saw Sasha walking along the corridor. She reached the door of the room and knocked on it before the


    man opened the door to invite her in.


    At the end of the footage, Matthew saw himself appearing on the screen as he had indeed followed


    Sasha there. He was dumbfounded when he realized that the girl who was with the guy earlier had not


    women inside the room?


    Matthew was seen leaving the corridor then. Shortly after that, the door of the room was suddenly


    opened through which Sasha stormed out. She appeared enraged with her eyes reddened as she


    walked toward the other end of the corridor and made her way downstairs.


    Matthew opened his eyes wide in shock. So, Sasha had actually left the room after barely spending two


    minutes inside. D-Does it mean that the voice that I heard at that time wasn’t hers?


    As the footage continued, Matthew was then seen walking over the corridor again af
