“Ah!”
A shrill female scream echoed from where Jessie had fled. Under the moonlight, Lennon. snatched Jessie’s collar and yanked her back. “Is she the arson culprit?”
“Yeah.”
“I swear it wasn’t me!”
Jessie fought desperately. “There’s no proof!”
Damien smirked. “You sure about that? Just because you deny it, don’t believe for a second. that this isolated mountain and peaceful location won’t have an issue with you.”
The man carefully pulled Cherise closer, gently wiping the black soot from her face. “Unfortunately, the place where Cherry and the others stayed had security cameras.”
“All your actions, from carrying gasoline to lighting that fire, have been recorded.”
The man’s plain statement drained the color from Jessie’s face.
The bystanders were equally stunned.
Cherise and the rest resided in a dilapidated one-story house. Why on earth were there surveillance cameras?
“I installed the surveillance.”
Witnessing the skepticism in the crowd, Lennon flung Jessie to the ground and shot Lucy a cold look. “I installed it yesterday to monitor someone’s safety.”
When Lennon and Damien rented one of the two villas, they asked the landlord about the accommodations. They requested added surveillance to all the accommodations for the Photography Association.
Lennon was troubled for Lucy. He knew Lucy had seen through Rodney’s malicious intentions, yet she had chosen to go with that repugnant man to the mountains. Lucy had intended to offer herself to Rodney, but Lennon was steadfast not to let Lucy waste away
like that!
Lucy’s face darkened upon hearing Lennon’s explanation, and she turned her head away to avoid his gaze.
“Is everyone okay?”
Damien cradled Cherise in his arms, gently patting her head.
“We’re fine!”
The girl reassured him with a smile. “But, sweetheart, didn’t you say you’d come. tomorrow? How did you end up here tonight?”
“Because someone else around here needed some reassurance.”
With that, Damien lifted his hand and affectionately tousled her hair. “And I needed. reassurance about your safety, too.”
The fire was swiftly extinguished.
The losses weren’t extensive because Cherise had plunged into the fire to rescue the photography equipment. However, Cherise, Lucy, and Rodney lost their personal belongings.
Their overnight accommodation had also been reduced to ashes.
Cherise suggested that they all head to Damien and Lennon’s rented villa. They also brought the unconscious Mandy back to the villa.
“The young lady has a rather peculiar situation.”
The village doctor treated Mandy in the room alone. Then he emerged, holding a small white object in his hand, which he placed on the coffee table. “I removed this from the subcutaneous tissue on the back of her neck.”
Lennon furrowed his brow and took the object. “What is this?”
“A surveillance device.”
Damien frowned and spoke softly, “A surveillance device?”
Lennon was somewhat taken aback. “What could it have been surveilling?”
“When it’s functioning normally, this bug isn’t this color; it’s almost transparent and barely visible.”
Damien’s brow furrowed. “The signal might not have functioned well in the mountains, and the device might not have been active.”
This kind of bug was a unique, custom-made listening device. Thirteen years ago, his sister had planted one on him to ensure he stayed focused on his studies.
However, why did Mandy have one on her?
“She has several of them implanted in her armpits, back, and lower back.”
The doctor said with a heavy tone, “This girl has likely been under constant manipulation her entire life.”
