“H–He called me three times!” Jayleen’s hands were shaking. “What should I do?”
Cynthia calmly instructed, “Call him back. If he asks why you didn’t answer the calls, tell him that your regular phone suddenly went black and stopped working, so you went out and bought a new one.”
“Will he believe me?” Jayleen was very worried.
“He will. Remember, if he asks who you called after buying the new phone, say it was a telemarketer. And if he asks why you turned off your phone, tell him that your new phone suddenly ran out of battery,” Cynthia assured her.
As she spoke, Cynthia deliberately connected Jayleen’s newly purchased phone to the computer with a data cable and rapidly drained its battery. Then, only when the battery level reached live percent did she recharge it.
The devil is in the details.
Jayleen’s new phone was not connected to the internet, so there was no way for the other person to check its status.
Thankfully, Cynthia had brought a computer and a data cable to avoid any potential mishaps.
“He won’t be able to find our call records,” Cynthia reassured her. She explained so much to Jayleen primarily to cover all bases. “And most importantly, your old phone was missing for a day when you returned,”
Jayleen was confused and did not fully understand the meaning of Cynthia’s statement, but she did not ask further.
With a mixture of emotions, she dialed the number, as she had done every time before, feeling fearful
“Why did it take so long for you to answer the call?” The person on the other end sounded emotionless.
“My regular phone suddenly went black and stopped working. I just went to the phone store to buy a new one, and I forgot to bring this phone.” Jayleen obediently followed Cynthia’s instructions.
“Is that so?”
“Yes
“Why was your new phone turned off? And who called you before you turned it off?” the man on the other end suddenly asked.
After destroying her previous phone, he had been monitoring her regular phone number and decided to check it once he saw a signal. However, he could not find any information due to the lack of internet connection. Then, he called her regular number, not expecting her to be in the middle of a conversation
To his surprise, she had just purchased a new phone and was already in contact with someone, which made him suspicious
Jayleen’s heart suddenly raced, and she looked at Cynthia in disbelief.
How could be…..
How did he know?
“Jayleen, you should know the consequences of betraying me.” The man’s voice, though pleasant, sent shivers down one’s spine involuntarily.
“I didn’t betray you…I turned off my new phone because it ran out of battery. The person who called me was a telemarketer.” Jayleen’s voice trembled in fear,
“Turn on your new phone and connect to the internet.”
“Okay.”
Jayleen complied and promptly answered, “It’s turned on now.”
The man fell silent and did not speak
He had his phone on speaker mode in front of him, and upon hearing Jayleen’s words, he looked at the person sitting across

from him.
Following instructions, the woman tapped on the keyboard
After a while, Jayleen’s call records appeared on her computer screen. She listened to the conversation, confirming that the content matched what Jayleen had said, and nodded toward the man.
The man was surprised!
“I’m telling the truth……” Jayleen did not hear the man’s voice and nervously spoke as if genuinely afraid of being falsely
accused.
The man’s gaze darkened, completely different from how he had treated her before.
“Why did you conspire against me with someone else?”
