Billionaire's Disastrous Kiss

Chapter 50

"How's your mom doing?" I asked Audrey as we sat down at a window table in the restaurant.

"She's watching Netflix 24/7"

"Wow really? That's the last thing I expected her to do"

Audrey chuckled. "I know right. I'm even surprised"

A waitress came and took our orders for lunch. I watched her walk away before speaking again.

"So what did you want to tell me?"

Audrey cleared her throat and leaned back in her seat. "Well I discovered several things about Nathan Kingston's case by going through the case files over and over again. They aren't big clues but could help"

Audrey glanced at me and I waited for her to continue.

She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. "Tell me Hailey, what was the first evidence that showed Nathan Kingston cheated on his wife?"

I blinked. "Umm why are you asking me that?"

"Because explaining it through questions is easier"

"Oh okay" I cleared my throat. "Well the first evidence is Nathan and Lauren coming out of a hotel room together"

"Find anything odd in that?"

I raised a brow. "What's odd in that?"

"Just think. Repeat the sentence over and over in your head"

Nathan and Lauren coming out of a hotel room together, Nathan and Lauren coming out of a hotel room together. There's nothing odd- "Coming out" I blurted.

Audrey clapped her hands. "Exactly. It's always coming out and never going in or spending a night at a hotel"

"B-but that's because the only footage the media obtained was them coming out" As I said it I realised how odd it sounds.

My brows furrowed. "That's weird. If the media was able to get the footage of them coming out then they should also have been able to get the one going in"

Audrey nodded with a smile as if she was feeling a proud mama moment at my realisation.

"Why didn't they get it?"

"Because there was never a footage"

"What? How is that possible?"

"Because it was all erased"

I gasped. "Why would anyone do that?"

"Because there was something that needed to be hidden"

I sucked in my breath. "You have any guesses what that could be?"

"Not exactly. But one could be that this footage proves Nathan and Lauren never went in together"

"That's...kind of normal because he was cheating and didn't want to get caught"

"Then why bother coming out together?"

I nodded. "Good point"

"From this we can assume that Nathan didn't come to the hotel to mingle with Lauren but he nevertheless got framed into a cheating scandal"

I quirked a brow. "You think he was framed?"

She shrugged. "Why not? If he was cheating he'd be secretive. He wouldn't drag his ex out for everyone to see. He clearly wasn't expecting to get caught in a scandal"

I pondered on the thought. "But even if he was cheating and came to the hotel to meet his ex the hotel staff would't go around telling it to others. They are not stupid enough to expose the private lives of their VIP guests"
