Upon reading the message, Camila didn't respond but simply boarded the car and took off.

Pearson had nearly drained his financial resources to silence Stetson and prevent him from divulging their secret.

“See, these projects are profitable. They hold greater value than mere cash."

Pearson presented the contracts, adding, “Once you sign them, they're all yours. But of course, the condition is that you must destroy those pieces of evidence."

Stetson took his time to examine them.

After all, Pearson was a cunning man.

Stetson had to tread carefully.

Pearson heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, I received an odd email. Here have a look."

Stetson plugged the USB into the computer, opened the video, and played it for Pearson.

Pearson's face slowly turned pale and then livid.

His body shuddered.

He stammered, "This, this..."

Stetson wore an innocent expression, claiming, “I swear I'm not prying into your life. This was given to me by someone."

He pretended to be innocent.

Yet, Pearson wasn't a fool to be easily deceived.

He found it hard to fathom how such classified and remote details could have surfaced.
