Chapter 149 Surveillance Footage
He looked up toward Matthew's direction and saw that Matthew's face was calm, with a faint curve at the corner of his lips.
But that curve somehow looked like it was mixed with murderous intent.
As if he said the wrong thing, his fate would be just like this phone... completely destroyed!
"Keep talking!" Matthew ordered coldly.
Oscar cleared his throat, immediately gathered his thoughts, and told everything he had investigated.
"Three years ago, Magnolia tried to seduce Benjamin and was almost strangled to death by him, then she was sent abroad. She just came back recently."
"After returning to the country, Magnolia still hasn't given up on Benjamin and is still trying to seduce him."
Matthew frowned deeply and said angrily, "Benjamin is such a waste, can't even take care of his own woman!"
Oscar nodded, strongly agreeing.
Matthew was naturally cold by nature, but he gave all his love to Sophia.
If any woman around him tried to harm Sophia, he would never wait overnight to deal with it.
He would make sure that woman would never appear in front of Sophia again the next day.
On this point, Oscar deeply admired Matthew.
Although Matthew changed women like clothes, it was all just for show.
Sophia was the most important one.
As long as someone dared to hurt Sophia, Matthew would never let that person go, no matter how noble their status was.
Matthew opened the video in the USB drive and watched it from beginning to end.
The further he watched, the darker his expression became.
Oscar kept staring at Matthew's face, and seeing this, unconsciously held his breath.
When he watched this surveillance video, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Sophia.
Let alone Matthew!
Matthew suddenly slammed the laptop shut, his face gloomy.
"Make a copy of this video and give it to the White Family."
Oscar immediately stepped forward and took the USB drive.
Matthew added, "Deliver it personally to Benjamin and warn him that if he doesn't give me a satisfactory answer, he'll never see Sophia again in this lifetime."
In the evening, Matthew received a call from home saying that Sophia had woken up.
He immediately put down his work and drove back to Maple Grove Villa.
......
Oscar came to the White Manor.
Alaric came out to greet him personally, his usually gentle and refined face showing some discomfort.
In the past, the White Family and the Lumina Group never had any dealings, so naturally he wouldn't easily lower his head.
But now it was different.
Sophia had done favors for Benjamin and the entire White Family.
Seeing Oscar appear alone at this moment, Alaric couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
"Oscar, please sit." Alaric made a welcoming gesture and told the servant to bring water.
"No need to trouble yourself. I'm not here to catch up today, I'm here to see Benjamin."
Although Oscar was timid in front of Matthew, he had quite an imposing manner in front of outsiders.
He sat up straight on the sofa, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but if you looked carefully, you could see the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Alaric smiled awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, our Benjamin is not feeling well and is still unconscious, so it's not convenient to see guests. You can tell me directly whatever you want to say."
Oscar unhurriedly straightened his suit, slowly stood up, and prepared to walk toward the door.
"In that case, I have nothing to say. When Benjamin wakes up, I'll visit again."
With that, Oscar lifted his foot to leave.
Alaric, having lost face, wasn't angry. He just called out in a flat tone, "Oscar, may I ask... how is Sophia doing now?"
"No, you may not." Oscar said coldly.
Alaric was stunned and lowered his eyes in disappointment.
At that moment, a low and weak voice suddenly came from upstairs, "Oscar."
Oscar paused and turned to look, seeing Benjamin leaning on the stair railing, walking down step by step.
His steps weren't fast, but there was some urgency in them.
Oscar looked up and carefully observed him.
He had to admit, Benjamin had an extraordinarily handsome face.
His features were deep and striking, and even though his face was pale, it couldn't hide the powerful aura of cold nobility around him.
He even had a kind of kingly presence that commanded respect.
Oscar's lips curved slightly as he nodded, greeting him, "Benjamin, Mr. Moore specially sent me to check on you. It seems you're recovering well."
Benjamin's lips moved, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his deep eyes.
He stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Where is Sophia? Is she... okay?"
"Ms. Brown is still unconscious and hasn't woken up yet."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt that exploded violently in Benjamin's mind.
He couldn't stand steady, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
His legs couldn't stop going weak.
Alaric reacted quickly and supported his arm, preventing him from falling.
"Benjamin, don't panic first." Alaric gently patted Benjamin's shoulder, comforting him in a low voice.
"Benjamin, I came here today to collect a debt."
Benjamin's mind was blank, with the phrase "hasn't woken up yet" echoing constantly in his head, unable to hear anything else.
After a long while, he finally found his voice, "What debt?"
Oscar sat back on the sofa, opened the laptop he brought with him, clicked on a video, and started playing it.
This was a surveillance video playing at fast speed.
Although it was pitch dark at the time, based on the figure and clothes, you could clearly identify that the person inside was Sophia.
She was leaning behind a large tree, hands tightly gripping her dress, eyes closed, enduring the pain.
Even through the screen, you could feel her pain at that moment.
Benjamin looked at Sophia's thin figure on the screen, his heart aching, wishing he could rush in and hold her in his arms to protect and cherish her.
He slowly covered his face, endless heartache flickering in his dark, deep eyes.
It was all his fault.
If it weren't for him, Sophia wouldn't have to endure such great pain now.
The next moment, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind the tree trunk and violently pushed Sophia into the lake.
Sophia had no time to guard against it, and when she fell into the water, it stirred up waves.
Chase's eyes widened in shock, full of astonishment and disbelief.
Benjamin stared at the screen, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his eyes full of cold, sharp light.
In the entire living room, the pressure suddenly dropped. Alaric's body radiated a bone-chilling coldness that made people's hair stand on end and cold sweat run down their backs.
Chase and Alaric, one standing and one sitting, their faces also darkened.
"Who is so bold as to dare hurt Sophia behind everyone's back?" Alaric moved closer to Benjamin, wanting to see more clearly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the owner of those hands slowly appeared.
