Ex-husband’s Regret

Chapter 728

This was too coincidental.

Jane and Zachary exchanged glances. Zachary asked, "If there's a skilled hacker, can they recover it?"

The staff in the surveillance room didn't know Zachary's identity. They just saw their boss being so servile and guessed he was probably a more powerful figure.

They didn't dare to offend him, so they replied honestly, "Even the person who designed the surveillance program can't recover it. This isn't just a simple file deletion that a skilled programmer or hacker could fix. It's a self-rescue program, or rather, a self-destruction program. Once the data is erased, it can't be recovered."

After hearing this, a cold light flashed in Zachary's eyes.

He asked, "Where's the hard drive?"

The staff handed Zachary the hard drive they had fished out of the water.

Zachary took it and looked at the hotel owner. "I need your computer, along with your cloud account and everything else. I just happen to have a friend who's in the surveillance industry, I'll get you a new one."

The hotel owner didn't dare to argue and led Zachary to the office to get the computer. He added Zachary on WhatsApp and sent over all the necessary account information without holding anything back. Zachary arranged for someone to recover the data and then took Jane to eat.

"Zachary..." Nina caught up. "I haven't eaten yet, can I join?"

"What do you want to eat? I'll have someone bring the food to you."

Hearing Zachary's implied rejection, Nina sniffled. "Zachary, you can doubt me and distance yourself, but have no reason to do this. If I wanted to, I could have done it years ago. My godmother liked me. Your grandfather may think I'm from a poor background, but there's still a possibility between us. The Collins family cares about reputation. If I can bear your child, can become the young mistress of the Collins family and the wife of the head of the family in the future. But Zachary, I didn't do that. I even thought about not making things difficult for you. I went abroad and suffered without saying a word... I couldn't even fulfill my filial duties to my grandfather because of this. Because of this, your grandfather was less wary of me. I could pose as a Miss Collins and received care in my career and life. Why would I want risk going too far? If I did that, besides making you despise me and having the Collins family send me away again, what would I have to gain? I don't think I'm foolish enough for that."

This speech even moved Jane, an outsider.

But Jane had seen another side of Nina.

She truly felt no sympathy.

She was already starving and had gone through such a distressing matter.

She really had no interest in watching Nina perform here.

"No one doubts you, yet you're so eager to explain. Aren't you just exposing yourself?"

Nina bit her lip, suppressing the hatred in her eyes directed at Jane.

She had initially relied on Zachary's lingering guilt to take things slowly.

It was only because Jane had intervened that she had to take a risky step.

If successful, she would spare Jane.

If not, Jane would have to pay the price.

They were from a similar background. Nina wouldn't let Jane get anything she couldn't.

"Fine, since there's no surveillance footage and you suspect me, I'll accept that. I can prove my innocence with my life."

With that said, Nina took out a dagger from out of nowhere and was about to slit her wrist.

She was going to slit her wrist in public.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

It was pretty extreme.

Seeing what was happening, Jane couldn't help but roll her eyes.
