Chapter 1027
Thalassa peered through Atticus’ laptop, her breath catching as she caught sight of Bruce
on the security feed. Her heart raced with a mix of hatred and revulsion.
So, it was Bruce who interrupted their plan. What on earth was he doing on his computer
at this hour?
The bookshelf behind Bruce showed that he was in a study, not his own bedroom.
The security footage only showed Bruce seating at his desk, clicking away with the mouse,
and tapping at the keyboard. But the actual content on the computer screen was obscured
from view.
Unable to see or guess what Bruce was up to, both Thalassa and Atticus were left in the
dark.

He started with a calm and serious demeanor and focused on the screen. But soon his
hand stilled, and his facial expression began to change as the video played on. First, he
swallowed hard, then he wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. His expression
turned to one of engrossed excitement, even reaching out to touch the computer screen.
His lewd behavior was unmistakable – he was watching porn!
Thalassa felt a wave of nausea and anger so strong it made her breathing erratic. She
quickly covered Atticus’ eyes and spared him from the sight.
Bruce was shamelessly indulging himself in front of the computer…
Despicable, vile, a man devoid of dignity and decency!
How could such a person not simply drop dead?
After what seemed like an eternity but was only five minutes, Bruce finally shut down the
computer and left the study. His face etched with frustration.
Thalassa’s breath shook with fury. If she could, she’d kill the scum herself!
Fighting to control her rage, Thalassa released Atticus’ eyes and said with a tight voice,
“Atticus, you can continue now. We need to be quick.”
If Bruce came back, their chance to delete the evidence would slip further away.
They couldn’t afford distractions anymore.
“Okay, Mom. I’m on it.” Atticus said obediently. He switched off the security feed and
resumed the hack.

Atticus’ screen displayed the contents of Bruce’s computer in mere seconds. He searched
through files just like with the phone, while Thalassa watching intently, nerves on edge.
When they reached the last file, they hit a snag it was encrypted and required a password.

The crucial video had to be inside.
Drawing on their previous try, Atticus cracked the password in two seconds flat.
As the file opened, a paused video popped up. Its thumbnail identical to the one they’d
seen on the phone.
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat. “Be quick! Delete it, Atticus! Now!”
Her voice trembled with the urgency she didn’t even attempt to hide.
“Done. Permanently erased!” Atticus responded seriously. His small hands flying over the
mouse as he swiftly executed the command to permanently delete the video.
Seeing the video vanish from the computer screen, Thalassa’s taut nerves finally relaxed,
and her body slumped in relief.
It was over. They had done it.
