Chapter 100 What The Surveillance Revealed
No sooner had he finished speaking than his assistant fell silent.
“What’s wrong? Does the other party have a unique identity?” Caleb grew anxious as well.

It wasn’t the man’s status that unsettled him–it was the fear of being betrayed by Gabrielle. The idea of her dining alone with another man, especially in such a private booth, gnawed at him.
He had no way of knowing what might happen behind closed doors.
He had never even held her hand before this, and their relationship was still undefined.
With this thought, a sense of unease hung heavily in Caleb’s heart.
“Are you certain that a man and woman had lunch there that day?” The assistant responded with a counter–question.
Listening intently. Caleb cast a questioning glance toward Chloe.
“I’ve sent you the video, take a look at it yourself,” the assistant said before hanging up the phone.
Before long, the assistant sent over a lengthy video. Caleb immediately opened it, discovering that it covered the period from twelve noon to two in the afternoon.
“It was around half past one, right at this moment” Chloe came over when she saw that he had the video.
She was standing quite close to Caleb, her chest unintentionally brushing against his arm.
Caleb stiffened, lowering his gaze to see her body pressed close to his, their bodies nearly rubbing against each other. Instinctively, he shifted away, only for Chloe to lean in once more.
“Don’t move around, you’ll understand once you see the video.” Chloe noticed his resistance.
She felt displeased deep down, yet she pretended to be oblivious to his actions, wearing an innocent expression on her face.
Caleb fell silent, his gaze fixed on the surveillance footage. He noticed that since noon, hardly anyone had entered the
restauranL
At half past one, two burly men entered, with a bodyguard standing to the side.
It wasn’t until after two o’clock that the two men emerged side by side and climbed into the Porsche with the license plate “ZAB” The bodyguard nearby promptly got into the Mercedes–Benz behind them, and they sped off into the distance.
“No, it can’t be How could it be two men? It was clearly Gabrielle and that man.” Chloe was taken aback as she exclaimed with a hint of agitation
She was not willing to let it go. She continued to watch the video till the end, only to find out that aside from these two, no
one else had entered.
“It’s a fake, this surveillance video must have been tampered with,” Chloe muttered under her breath. The Zechman family is so powerful, it’s not unlikely they could have someone meddle with it.”
Her wrist was suddenly grasped by Caleb, his gaze upon her was filled with complexity.
“Chloe, enough. If you continue to stir up trouble in front of me, I will turn against you. You’ve always complained to me about how Gabrielle has been making things difficult for you. From the looks of it, you’re quite adept at spouting nonsense. With a darkened expression, Caleb pushed her away,
As Chloe was shoved aside, her lips trembled, and a wave of frustration surged through her. Unable to contain it, she stomped her foot in desperation.
“I didn’t he, it’s what Zach and I saw with our own eyes, the person in the video now has been replaced! Caleb, you must believe me, I could never harm you,” Chloe explained in a low VOICE

The idea of her checking surveillance footage now seemed absurd, she even ned ochem of casting suspicion on his assistant However, the fact was his assistant wu completely in the dark. How could they possibly manipulate the surveillance!
“Are you cutting ties with me!” Chloe was somewhat taken aback
She looked at him her eyes filled with disbelief. Her eyes were red from the injustice she felt, her body on the verge of collapse. Yet, she tried her best to pretend to be strong. In the past, Caleb would have undoubtedly held her in his arms ha heart aching for her
But now, he was extremely annoyed, especially about Zachary asking him to call and arrange a meeting with Michaell
The more he thought about it the more frightened he became. He had a vague feeling that after this phone call be would have no place in the Lefevre family anymore.
“Ms. Seavers, you have a variety show recording tomorrow. It might be best for you to head back and prepare.” Caleb suggested in a husky voice
He lay back down on the hospital bed, eyes falling on the wound at his fingertip. Something about it didn’t sit right with him.
Chloe bit her lip, staring at his indifferent demeanor. A flicker of anger passed through her eyes before she turned away. She pulled out a sigil and lit it. As the sigil burned to ashes, it was just as lifeless and flavorless as before
She tossed it into the cup she had set aside. poured water into it, and gave it a little shake
“All right, I’ll leave as soon as you’ve had your water.” Chloe said, picking up the cup and handing it to him.
Caleb was somewhat agitated, contemplating refusal
te, he saw her thrust the water cup into his hand. He hastily began to gulp down the water, saying, “All right, I’ve finished drinking. Can you leave now!”
“Caleb you’re truly wonderful Chloe said with a sweet smile.
Caleb felt a throbbing headache. He let out a low grunt, collapsing onto the bed. It felt as if something had been drained our of his body. He picked up his phone and made a call
“I’m feeling a bit under the weather, I don’t think I’ll be able to make it back tonight: Could you pack up my things for me? Come pick me up from the hospital tomorrow morning we’ll head straight to the rendezvous from there.” Caleb said, before lunging up the phone
Chloe was standing there, turning around with an air of arrogance, her eyes no longer showing the pitiful look from

After she pushed the door open and left, she turned around and returned to Marilyn’s sickroom
“Mom. I have to continue filming the variety show with Ben tomorrow, Chloe said, her voice choked with emotion “Ill probably have to go home tonight so I won’t be able to stay with you”
Her eyes were rimmed with red as she stood before the hospital bed. She lunged forward tightly embracing Marilyn.
“Even though I was harshly criticized during this variety show. I wont give up. For the sake of my family, for you and my siblings. I will definitely use this annorunity to have a serious talk with Gabrielle I’m sure she will consider your wishes and

Her words left Marilyn in a state of momentary disorientation.

“I’m leaving now, going home to pack my things, Mom! I love you” Chloe said, getting up and wiping away her tears She forced a smile and turned to leave.
Marilyn’s lips moved slightly as she stared at the closed door.
“Indeed, only a daughter raised by oneself can truly be considered close” Marilyn said coldly
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth were tugged, causing her to grimace in pain. Wrinkles multiplied on her face, but the physical pain she was experiencing made skincare the least of her concerns.
“Zach, has Sebastian arrived yet? Gabrielle is set to go to the variety show tomorrow. If we can’t get the emerald pendant. I’m afraid it could be the end of me.” Marilyn sobbed uncontrollably.
Upon receiving Marilyn’s phone call, Zachary rushed back to the hospital room in a hurry.
He pushed the door open, his face filled with discomfort as he looked at Marilyn.
“Mom,” Zachary said, his voice hoarse. “Sebastian is now refusing to see anyone from the Seavers family. He’s determined to sever ties with us.”
