"Here you are!"

The door to the Study Room was pushed open, and Sally Dalton stepped out, "You’re awake?"

"What were you doing in the Study Room?" Nathan Leafcastle asked suspiciously.

"Oh... nothing, I was just... tidying up some documents. Well... you should go freshen up, and I’ll go check if breakfast is ready."

"Okay."

Sally Dalton hurriedly went downstairs. Nathan Leafcastle watched her back, raised an eyebrow, and stepped into the Study Room. He glanced around and his gaze fixed on the desk.

Walking over, he picked up the USB drive and reached out to turn on the computer.

Noticing the wine glass on the table, Nathan Leafcastle raised an eyebrow slightly.

It was a wine glass, with faint traces of red wine at the bottom, and they were fresh. Nathan Leafcastle picked up the glass and observed it, his brows furrowing.

He hadn’t been drinking; this was clearly the glass Sally Dalton had used. Sally Dalton wasn’t a heavy drinker, only drinking alone when she felt down.

Recalling her slightly flustered appearance just now, Nathan Leafcastle furrowed his brows suspiciously.

At this point, the computer had started up. He inserted the USB drive and clicked to enter it, but the computer showed the USB drive was empty.

Nathan Leafcastle unplugged the USB drive, examined it, and then plugged it back into the computer, with the same result.

Could it have been damaged after being submerged in water?

He removed the USB drive again and inspected it carefully, finding nothing amiss.

A thought crossed his mind, and he reached out to feel the CPU tower.

Sure enough, it was warm—the computer had been on for a long time before he opened it, or else his high-performance computer couldn’t have overheated.

Just then, Sally Dalton gently pushed the door open.

"Nathan, breakfast is ready..." Seeing him looking at the USB drive, her voice stiffened slightly, and then she lowered her gaze, "Breakfast is ready!"

Nathan Leafcastle stood up.

"Sally, did you touch my USB drive?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I..." Sally Dalton shook her head with a smile, "No, I didn’t!"

"Then why is everything inside gone?"

"Is it?" Sally Dalton glanced around, feigning ease as she said, "Maybe it... got damaged after soaking in water?"

"Then what about this?" Nathan Leafcastle grabbed the wine glass from the table, his voice rising suddenly, "Did this glass walk over here by itself? And the CPU, did it heat up by itself too?!"

"Nathan, you... don’t misunderstand, I... I really did turn on the computer, but I didn’t touch your USB drive."

"Then why don’t you dare to look at me, feeling guilty as a thief?"

"I..." Sally Dalton lower face, "I... didn’t!"

Bang!

The wine glass shattered on the floor, sending shards flying everywhere.

Sally Dalton was startled, her face turning pale as she looked up, only to see the man standing by the desk, separated from her by a field of debris, his tone severe.

"I never thought you’d do something like this, Sally, I didn’t expect you to be such a jealous and petty woman. You’ve really disappointed me!"

In all the time she had known him, this was the first time Nathan Leafcastle had ever lost his temper with her. Staring at the shards on the ground, Sally Dalton felt as if a knife pierced her heart.

"Jealous? Petty?! Have you ever seen a jealous and petty woman allowing her man to bring home a woman he once liked? Have you seen a jealous and petty woman proactively trying to help him mend his relationship with an old flame?" Sally Dalton’s voice was full of grievance, "That’s right, I’m jealous—the man who’s about to marry me sleeps beside me every night, yet has never once laid a finger on me. Have you ever considered how I feel?
