call the cops!” the man retorted.Winnie scoffed. “Is that so? Do you think denial will save your skin? Lucky for me, I’ve got a way for you to spit out the truth!”With that, she took hold of her phone and snapped several photos of the man’s face.The man took the chance to break free from Winnie’s hold and escaped.Winnie did not chase him down as she knew he would not tell the truth even if she managed to catch up to him.Based on the equipment he’d been using, she surmised that he was a professional at this.Those in his line of work usually kept the information of their employers a secret. Thankfully, she’d taken a clear photo of the man’s face.She was extremely curious as to why he had been trailing Josiah.Besides, what is Josiah talking about in the other room?Winnie’s gaze fell on the listening device before her.

Her ringtone sounded once the call was connected.Josiah’s eyes widened at that moment. The sound originated from the door of the private room.The door was slightly ajar, and he could distinctly hear that the ringtone was identical to the one he heard on his phone and that they were ringing in unison.He immediately got to his feet and opened the door to the sight of Winnie.Winnie hung up as soon as their eyes met.Josiah observed her stern expression and tried to come up with an excuse. “Fancy seeing
