Chapter 793 Winnie's Secret Investigation
Bentley was taken aback, "You have cameras installed in your house?"
"It's not my house," Winnie lowered her eyes. "It's Rock's villa. I suspect he has cameras. But I'm not sure. Just in case, I want you to help me detect them because I want to check something in his study and I'm afraid he'll find out."
Bentley was shocked, but after Angelina's party, he wasn't surprised that Winnie suspected something about Rock.
"You and Rock now..."
"Yes, I want to secretly investigate him while I'm still by his side. I think he might be hiding a lot from me. Whether it's Olivia's disappearance or Sierra's death, I promised Ulysses to help figure it out."
"But you had me send someone to follow Rock for a few days before, and the detective didn't find anything wrong."
That was what puzzled Winnie.
But now she had thought of a possibility, "If he's always been good at disguising, is it possible that your detective was detected by him long ago? Maybe even you are under his control, and he's pretending to be a good guy to fool you."
Bentley's brows furrowed. If that was the case, Rock's mind was terrifying.
Thinking back, it was indeed strange that the detective found nothing.
"My detective said he has a detector that can sense pinhole cameras."
Winnie breathed a sigh of relief, "Give me your detective's contact information. I'll have him disguise as an employee of my company and go to the villa this afternoon. He must be careful and not leave any traces."
"Okay." Bentley turned to make a call.
Winnie also called Lysander in to forge a resume for the detective from the Blanchet Group.
Afternoon.
Winnie drove back to Rock's villa.
She had subtly inquired from the Harrington Group people that Rock was at work, and immediately called the detective, Zachary Hill, over.
"Ms. Anderson, you can just call me Zachary."
"Bentley has briefed you, right?" Winnie nodded and asked.
Zachary nodded, but he also took out a small tablet, showing a child's face on the screen.
Winnie was startled, "Oscar?"
The person on the tablet video was Oscar!
At this moment, Oscar had sneaked out of kindergarten, fiddling with a small computer, "Mommy, I've contacted Bentley and know what you want to do. Later, just have Zachary walk around the house. I can detect some hidden cameras with infrared."
"Zachary can handle this. You don't need to get involved!" Winnie was very worried.
Oscar, with a bit of hacking skills, wanted to meddle in everything.
"Zachary might not find them all. I'll tell him later." Oscar ignored Winnie's stern face.
Just then, the sound of a car came from outside the villa!
Unexpectedly, Rock had returned.
Winnie, in shock, quickly took out a contract document. Zachary, seeing this, swiftly hid the tablet in a document bag, adjusted his tie like a subordinate, and stood with his head down in front of Winnie.
As soon as Rock came in, he saw Winnie talking about the Blanchet Group contract.
His gaze locked onto Zachary's face, "Winnie, who is this? Why did you bring a stranger into the house?"
There was a hidden sharpness in his eyes.
Winnie didn't miss it. She tried to maintain a calm facade, frowning apologetically, "I left an urgent contract from the Blanchet Group at home. The shareholders' meeting needs it later, but I don't want to go back to the company this afternoon, so I asked Zachary to come and get it."
"He's an employee of the Blanchet Group?" Rock's eyes narrowed in surprise, "Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Mr. Harrington, I'm Zachary, an assistant from the president's office of the Blanchet Group. Here's my ID badge." Zachary introduced himself nervously.
Rock squinted at the ID badge, pondered for a few seconds, then turned to Winnie with a smile, "I got off work early and didn't expect you to be working from home. Since he's a subordinate, I won't disturb your discussion. I'll go make dinner for you."
He appeared gentle, and Winnie knew he was still trying to impress her.
As Rock walked into the kitchen, Winnie deliberately raised her voice, "I almost forgot there's another project document on my computer upstairs. Zachary, did you bring a flash drive? Copy it and give it to Lysander."
"Okay, Ms. Anderson," Zachary replied, following Winnie upstairs.
Winnie stood at a position on the stairs where she could see the movements in the kitchen downstairs out of the corner of her eye.
Zachary quickly and silently walked around the second floor.
Moments later, Winnie came down with a flash drive, talking about the Blanchet Group matters all the way to the door.
Outside, Zachary lowered his voice, "Ms. Anderson, the living room, the second-floor hallway, and your bedroom are all equipped with pinhole cameras. I didn't dare to go to other places; there might be someone watching. I'm afraid of arousing his suspicion. But I think the whole house might be under surveillance."
Winnie's eyes widened in horror.
She had only suspected this morning, so she asked him to check.
She didn't expect the house to be full of cameras.
This was Rock's house. Who else would install these things?
That meant, from the day she moved in, her every move was under Rock's watchful eyes.
Fortunately, she hadn't gone to Rock's study to look for anything in the past few days.
Otherwise, she might have been discovered before she even started investigating.
Rock was terrifying.
"Zachary, my bedroom's bathroom wouldn't have..."
"Oscar said the bathroom doesn't have any, and I didn't detect any," Zachary said in a low voice.
Winnie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The thought of Rock possibly watching her shower made her want to confront him.
"In any case, the places with the most surveillance are your bedroom, the dining room, and outside the villa." Zachary reminded with a frown, "Ms. Anderson, none of your movements have escaped his eyes. He even knows exactly what you do in your bedroom. That's why he came home as soon as I arrived."
Winnie took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. No matter what, she decided to stay here to investigate him, so she had to keep her composure and not panic, "Are they all well-hidden? I've been living here for almost a month and haven't noticed anything."
"Yes, they're all top-notch global pinhole cameras, micro-sized, hidden in sockets or ceilings. You can't see them with the naked eye. Even if you find them, you'd think they're dust particles and wouldn't recognize them," Zachary said.
Winnie raised her hand to rub her brow, "Alright, I understand. You should go back now."
"Ms. Anderson," Zachary pressed his earpiece, "Oscar says you should leave. This place is dangerous. Either arrange for someone to protect you, or he won't feel safe about Rock. He even hit you last time."
