Chapter 91
Meanwhile, Douglas, who was lying on the hospital bed, didn’t know that his parents were planning
to save him.
He asked the police to call Vincent, saying that he had something important to tell Vincent about Stephanie.
The police reported it to Norman. Norman didn’t reject it immediately but called Vincent to ask for advice.
Hearing that it was about Stephanie, Vincent agreed.
Soon, he received a call from Doughs, asking, “Uncle Vincent, considering we’re related by blood, can you let me go?”
“No,” Vincent replied coldly.
Douglas already expected that but still wanted to ask.
“if you hadn’t said that it was something about Stephie, I wouldn’t have spoken to you at all,” Vincent said, losing his patience.
“Uncle Vincent, you’re so cruel to me,” Douglas sneered.
After complaining, he feared that Vincent might hang up the phone so he quickly said, “I have the video of Florence hiring the thugs to set Stephanie up
in the bar eight years ago.”
Vincent, who was about to
ut to hang up the phone, was
one, was surprised by that.
Eight years ago. Stephanie was trapped in a bar that was on fire and almost died. Since then, rumors about her being addicted to bars, sleeping around. and having an abortion began to spread.
Many years had passed, yet someone would still talk about it. If there were a video that could prove that Florence had plotted against Stephanie, the rumor would scotch
The scandal had truly formented Stephanie.
Douglas could tell that Vincent was thinking about it as the latter didn’t hang up the phone. Since he had the upper hand, he negotiated the terms with Vincent. “Uncle Vincent, it’s been eight years. Don’t you want to prove Stephanie’s innocence? Even if good deeds speak for themselves, it’s not easy to stand the criticism”
“State your terms,” Vincent said indifferently.
“I love how straightforward you are, Uncle Vincent. I want to be acquitted and returned to the Fletcher residence,” Douglas said.
“How do I know if y
you’re telling the truth? Where’s the video?” Vincent asked.
“It’s a five-minute video and has already been split into three parts. I’ll ask someone to send you the first part o
t of the videa. Aher you get me out and i return to the Fletcher residence, I’ll send you the remaining,” Douglas replied.
“Deal Send it to me now. Let me check it out,” Vincent requested.
“No problem” Douglas agreed
Since the phone speaker had been turned on the whole time, Stephanie heard Douglas’ words.
“I didn’t expect Douglas to have such important evidence. Since he knew that Florence was that bad yet he still stayed with her, he must have an unusual mindset,” she said.
“Love and marriage are only stepping stones in the face of interests. He likes Florence’s “talent but never expected that it was stolen. I think Douglas was regretful when he knew you were the real hidden gem,” Vincent analyzed.
“Let him be. That kind of person has done many bad things and should pay for it!” Stephanie snorted.
Vincent liked the way Stephanie openly expressed her emotions. He rubbed her nose and said, “He’s not going to get away with it”
Suddenly. Vincent’s phone vibrated. A message was coming in.
He clicked on the message and saw a video.
The footage was very clear.
The fourteen-year-old Florence was dressed in a tank top, a mini skirt, and a high ponytail. She placed her arms around two thugs’ shoulders intimately and behaved frivolously.
She told them, “Treat my sister well when she arrives later. Although she looks serious, she’s actually very coquettish. Teach her well and take photos and videos of her. By the way, get those friends of yours, too. I’ll give each of you 2,000 dollars when it’s done.”
One of the thugs hugged and kissed her. “No one is as skillful as you are in bed. We’d rather die than touch a lifeless body”
Florence pushed him, saying. “Three of us can play together after this.”
The video then ended.
“D a m n. She’s so vicious at such a young age. Vincent’s face was gloomy. His eyes were filled with murderous intent
Before Stephanie died in her previous life, she had heard about that from Florence herself, so she wasn’t surprised
She had never thought that Florence would be so open minded at that age, though,
Vincent’s phone vibrated again.
He picked it up. It was from Douglas.
to hell
tutes to “Uncle Vincent, you should have watched the video by now. The rest of the video can send Florence to hell forever. I’ll give you five minutes to consider it, or my friend will directly destroy the phone that stored the video. Think about it,” Douglas urged.
Vincent hummed in response. “I agree. I’ll contact Mr. Gaton now.”
Douglas knew he had made a wise decision and thought, it seems that as long as it’s about Stephanie, Uncle Vincent will definitely care about it teach them a lesson when I make a comeback!
He didn’t know that Vincent didn’t intend to let him go, and agreeing to it was only Vincent’s delaying tactic
After all, the video was stored on the phone. If Douglas asked his friend to destroy the phone, there would be no way to restore the video.
“Is there a computer at home?” Vincent asked
“There’s a desktop computer,” said Stephanie.
“Let’s track the person who sent the video, Vincent suggested,
“Sure” Stephanie smiled.
I’ll

The duo went to the study, turned on the computer, and began investigating the number that had sent the video.
The other party was smart. He had used a virtual phone number with a foreign location.
It would take them some time to decipher it.
Vincent directly hacked into the number Douglas used.
He thought, ‘Douglas’ phone had already been confiscated, so this number should be the police’s. Douglas would definitely call a normal number to contact that person. We can trace that person’s location through that.”
As expected, that person was in Golden Bay, a residential area in Jacaster
After confirming the location, Vincent and Stephanie decided to go over immediately.
On their way, Vincent called Norman and asked him to hold Douglas back for an hour.
Norman agreed, not because Vincent was a big shot, but because of Vincent’s other identity that he had to respect, and he did as he was told.
Norman instructed his subordinate to record Douglas’ statement. Although Vincent and Stephanie stopped pursuing the matter, Julianna didn’t agree to a settlement. Douglas had to tell the police what had happened once again to prove that he wasn’t involved in kidnapping Julianna.
Douglas thought that Julianna was a wicked woman and swore to teach her a lesson when he was released.
Forty minutes later, Vincent and Stephanie arrived at Block A of Golden Bay
The duo entered the building, took the elevator to the 12th floor, and arrived at Unit 1202.
Stephanie, seeing that the lock was just an ordinary one, raised her eyebrow. “I’m good at this. Let me do it.”
She took a silver needle from her bag, poked it into the keyway, and rotated it. The door opened in no time.
Vincent signaled her to follow him, and she nodded..
Vincent slightly opened the door and saw through the slit that nobody was in the living room. Heavy metal music and men’s singing could be heard, though.
The duo walked inside and saw Benson singing happily in front of the computer.
Stephanie walked over and struck him on the back of his head. “Hey!”
Benson was
was startled.
“What the
Before he could say anything, he was struck on the back of his head again.
“Where’s the phone?” Stephanie asked,
Momentarily stunned, Benson warned, “You are t r e s p a s s i n g! I will sue you!”
Stephanie sneered, “Douglas asked you to steat the trade secrets of seven companies. Do you know how long you will be imprisoned a it’s exposed?”
Benson’s mouth witched. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Vincent then raked out all the company secrets Benson had hacked over the past three years.
“So, where’s the phone?” he asked..
Benson looked at the duo in shock. “It’s under the bed. I’ll get it for you”
He immediately handed it over with both hands.
Stephanie retrieved the last two parts of the video and narrowed her eyes.
The footage showed the scenes of Florence setting fire and Vincent getting beaten for saving Stephanie.
‘Douglas was such a sc**m. He watched his uncle Vincent being beaten but didn’t help him at all. Instead, he recorded the whole process until Vincent was rescued by his classmate, Stephanie thought.
The video reminded her of the years when Vincent couldn’t walk. Tears welled up in her eyes.
She couldn’t forgive Florence, even though Florence was her sister.
It wasn’t only because she had experienced the pain of having her heart cut open in her previous life but also because the pain engraved in her memory was way too evident. She would wake up in pain whenever she dreamed of the scene.
Besides, Vincent suffered a lot of physical and m e n t a l pain because of the fire.
Douglas couldn’t be forgiven, either. Not only did he not come to the rescue when Vincent was injured, but he also took Vincent’s credit under impersonation and tried to kill Vincent several times afterward
Florence and Douglas were truly a perfect match.
Raising her chin, Stephanie said, “Don’t work for Douglas anymore, or I’ll put you in jail”
Benson nodded fervently. “Yes, I won’t”
Vincent and Stephanie left after getting the video.
Once they got in the car, Vincent received a call from Norman, saying, “Mr. Fletcher, the hospital is on fire. Douglas is missing”
