Chapter 155 - ULTIMATE EVIDENCE
Chapter 155 - ULTIMATE EVIDENCE
We found Angela's car concealed behind the deserted part of the forest where overgrown grasses stood. The car was safely hidden and in good condition. There's no sign that something was there nor was there any evidence someone tried to steal from the car.
Catherine Grace carefully reached for the door and pulled it open but it won't budge.
The car was locked and we didn't have the key either.
We could smash the window with a rock but it would damage the inside of the car. Shards would fly inside and that might damage an important object.
But we have narrow options. It's either we smash the window or find another way. But there's no quickest way except breaking the window and forcing the lock open from inside.
"I'll check the window on the other side." Catherine said. Without waiting for a response, she hastily walks towards the opposite side of the car.
"Thank god!" She exclaimed, eyes popping in surprise as it landed on the window.
Curious to see what she meant, I walked behind her and saw that the window on that side was half open. Angela must have left the window open on purpose.
I let out a huge sigh of relief. Angela planned things well. And now, we're only a step away in finding what exactly happened to her.
I watched as Catherine inserted her arms and tried to open the door from inside. There was a 'click' before the door swung open.
Relief flooded inside me as I watch her
excitedly enter the car to search for the evidence Angela mentioned in her letter. Seconds later, she emerged inside the car with phone in hand.
"This must be hers." She said, referring to Angela.
The phone was off and Catherine pressed the button until the screen brightened. The cellphone hadn't been charged for days and it shut down after a second of turning home.
"What's your plan Cat? Should we head to the police station and inform the police we found Angela's car?"
She shook her head, "Someone from the Investigation Agency would do that job. For now, we need to go back home and charge this device."
Catherine and I started to walk back to the spot where she parked the car.
I pulled the door open and clambered inside. However, she didn't immediately climb in the car. She finished her phone from inside her pocket and called someone, it must be one of the staff from their agency.
As I waited for her to finish the call, my thoughts drifted back to Angela's phone. Just what kind of evidence was she hiding inside her phone? Will it be enough to convict Samantha for her crimes?
My thoughts were shattered when Catherine Grace hopped to the driver's seat and turned the engine. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice her call had ended.
The car rolled onto the rough road. When the car safely reached the highway, I leaned on the cushioned seat and stared at the view outside the window.
We traversed the endless highway in silence until we reached Catherine's house.

"Wrong password…" Catherine Grace?muttered in exasperation. She paced back and forth in front of the large tv screen inside my room. Angela's mobile phone firmly gripped in her hand.
"She left no password though…." I mumbled as I slumped into the bed.?My squinted eyes swept through the letter in my hand for the umpteenth time. Skimming through the contents once more just in case I missed something.
Sighing, I lowered the paper into my lap. I still hadn't found any clue about the password. Perhaps, Angela forgot to mention it in her letter. It's no wonder that it totally slipped from her mind. She's in a hurry when she wrote the letter anyway.
My gaze shifted?back to Catherine Grace when she sat beside me.
"So what do we do now?"
Catherine flashed me a smile before she replied, "Of course! I'll hack the password. That's my job!"
I admire how Cat could be so cheerful at times like this. I found myself smiling back as I looked at her. "Without a doubt, I know you could do that. It's your forte."?I replied and watched her grab her laptop on top of the bed and place it on her lap.
"Give me a maximum of thirty minutes."?She said without tearing her gaze off from her laptop screen, her fingers skilfully typing through the keys like robots.
While Catherine worked on Angela's phone, I leaned towards the headboard and took the opportunity to chat with Elisa and ask if Faith and Vien are fine.
I didn't wait long before I received a reply from my best friend. She said in her chat that my daughters are fine. Alexander and Claire are taking good care of them so I don't need to worry.
I swallowed a lump in my throat. Just thinking about my children makes me emotional. I missed them so much that I feel so bad that I have to be separated from them.
But I can't return home yet. We still need to prove Ace is innocent. Aside from that, Samantha should be jailed for the crime she committed. Once this ordeal was over, Ace and I would come home so we could be complete and happy as a family.
After exchanging messages with Elisa I returned my phone on top of the night table. I felt a lot better after talking to her.
"Phoenix!"
I snapped out of my thoughts and quickly slumped beside her at the edge of the bed and saw the phone in her hand. My eyes widened in surprise after seeing the lock was opened!
Catherine Grace is a genius indeed!
My heartbeat quickened. My pulse jittered as I watched her check the files but she couldn't find the evidence Angela was talking about.?Just as Catherine turned the data on, a video file automatically began to download.
We waited in suspense until the video was fully downloaded and saved on the files. With fingers trembling in anticipation Cat clicked on the icon and the video began playing.
