Chapter 480
Chapter 480:
“That’s impossible,” Hannah said immediately. “I’ve worked with Victoria for five years. She’s obsessive about safety protocols. She’d rather lose money than risk lives.”
“That’s what I thought too,” Camille said. “But the documents Alexander has seem real. His uncle’s journal entries, official-looking reports…”
Hannah’s expression sharpened. “Can I see them?”
“Alexander won’t share them with me.”
“Then we’ll have to get them another way.” Hannah pulled out her laptop. “I can analyze digital documents for signs of manipulation. Altered timestamps, inconsistent formatting, metadata that doesn’t match the supposed creation dates.”
Stefan and Camille exchanged glances. “You can do that?”
“I can do more than that. If someone created fake evidence to frame Victoria, they left digital fingerprints. Modern document editing leaves traces that are almost impossible to hide completely.”
“But we still need access to Alexander’s evidence,” Stefan pointed out.
Hannah smiled for the first time in days. “Leave that to me. Alexander’s been sharing files with Kane Industries systems for months as part of the Phoenix Grid project. His computer has been on our network. If the documents are on his system…”
“You can access them remotely?”
“I can access them legally. He signed agreements allowing Kane Industries IT support for collaborative projects. Those agreements include remote access for technical assistance.”
Camille felt a spark of hope for the first time since finding the surveillance photos. “How long would it take?”
“A few hours to access his system. Maybe a day to analyze everything I find.” Hannah’s fingers were already flying over her keyboard. “But Camille, you need to know—if we do this, there’s no going back. Whatever we find, whether it proves Victoria’s innocence or guilt, you’ll have to live with the truth.”
Camille thought about Victoria lying unconscious in the hospital room upstairs. About Alexander’s desperate phone calls and letters. About her marriage that had crumbled in a single conversation.
“I need to know the truth,” she said finally. “Whatever it costs me.”
Stefan nodded. “Then let’s find it.”
Hannah’s laptop chimed as she connected to Kane Industries’ servers. “I’m in Alexander’s system. There are hundreds of files here. Documents, photos, audio recordings…”
“Audio recordings?” Camille’s stomach dropped.
“Phone calls. Conversations. Some are labeled with dates going back months.” Hannah’s face went pale as she read the file names. “Camille, some of these are recordings of your private conversations with Alexander.”
