Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 423

Jared could not understand what Maggie was trying to convey and neither did Maggie tell him what she intended to do with Kane's luggage. He stared at her intently trying to decipher what she had in mind. But her expressionless face did not give anything away, even though there was excitement dancing in her eyes. Sighing lightly, he turned back and nodded at his assistant, who immediately got to work.
Maggie had seen not seen Jared's assistant standing at the corner of the hallway, sipping on his water. 'Have I gone blind to have not seen him standing over there? Why was that so?' She wondered. 'Is it because I was too excited about the proofs?' A frown marred her beautiful forehead and her mind went ashtray when another thought came to her.
'What if the man was lying and he actually has nothing that could be of my help? What if he was only bluffing in front of the old geezer and this scumbag so that he could save his ass? It could be a possibility too.' She bit her lip and looked far ahead, completely missing the look of desire in Jared's eyes.
His gaze lingered on her lips, darkening with lust as seconds ticked by. His assistant returned right at this moment, much to his dismay, and he glared at him in annoyance. Maggie snapped out of her thoughts and ignored Jared completely. She took the bag from his assistant and placed it on the bench that lined along the wall of the hallway, before opening it.
"Jared, you can go back to the room. I will tell you when I find something." Maggie waved him off and the assistant's eyes widened seeing the way she treated Jared. She was the only woman who treated him that way and had the ability to get away with it without being unscathed.
"I can stay here, Maggie. That's fine."
"Jared," Maggie turned to him. "You Godfather is waiting for you. I am sure he would be displeased if you waste any more of his time. I will inform you once I find something." Maggie assured him after warning him about the old man.
'She is right. That old man must be impatient right now and he must be going bonkers. It's best that I go back to him.'
"Sure, Maggie." He conceded and sent a silent order to his assistant to take care of Maggie in his absence. Taking one last glance at the girl, who had her back to him, he returned to the room. Maggie sighed in relief on sensing him return to the room. She wanted some distance from him given how bad he was and what his feelings for her were. Kicking her thoughts of him out of her mind, she opened the luggage and hunted for the item she wanted.

She ignored the man who was watching her keenly and as she had expected, she found two phones and a tablet in his bag. "Aha, I was right." She exclaimed out loud, and the assistant watched her in suspicion wondering why she was this happy.
Maggie sat down on the bench and opened the laptop she had brought with her and connected one of the phones first. Using her expertise and skills she searched his entire phone, only to find nothing in it. It was as empty as a barren land. Maggie then connected the other phone and this time, her efforts yielded the results she wanted.
Maggie found a lot of videos on the phone and she opened just one of them, making sure to mute the audio. Just as she had expected, she found Charles and Jared discussing a mission with some people who she could not recognize. Happiness surged through her heart and before Jared's assistant could take a peek, she closed the video.
Not wasting another minute, she transferred all the videos to her drive. Jared's assistant leaned in to see what Maggie was seeing. But all he could see was a progression bar. "What are you doing Maggie?"
"I am trying to see if Kane has any hidden files that could of use to us." She replied, patting herself for her quick thinking and swift hands. She had managed to hide the transfer progression window, opening a search window, once again searching the files on the phones.
Jared's assistant bought her words and he sat beside her, his eyes glued to the laptop. "Did you find anything?" He queried after a few seconds passed.
"Yes, I did," Maggie said with glee and the man's curiosity rose.
"What did you find?"
"Just a minute. Let me check what the man has saved in this tablet." Maggie said and connected the tablet, searching for any files or video footage. The tablet too held the same files she had found in the phone and Maggie praised the man for creating a backup. However, he was extremely foolish to have carried the devices with him, especially when he knew that Jared was looking for him.
Although the man had been careful enough to encrypt the files and put a passcode on them, decrypting it and finding the passcode was just as easy as eating a cake for Maggie. Now, all the files were transferred and all three devices had been checked. All that remained was for her to show the proofs to Jared.

Although she could have hidden the fact that she found some videos against them, she wanted Jared and his Godfather to last few days without any worries. She would then destroy them once and for all, without allowing them to get up forever. 'I want the two scoundrels to know that it was I who ruined them. And I will make sure of it.'
Maggie entered the room, picking the laptop while Jared's assistant carried the devices with him behind his back, making sure to hide them from Kane's eyes. Maggie's eyes fell on Kane and the next instant, she averted them for she could not see the condition he was in. His face was covered in blood and the droplets were dripping to the ground, forming a small pool at his feet. His eyes were closed shut and for a second, the girl wondered if he was dead.
Jared dropped the rod the moment Maggie entered. "What have you found, Maggie?"
"A lot actually. You would like to take a look at this." She beckoned him silently and the man walked to her like a lovestruck fool.
"When Kane uttered that he had some evidence against you, I was skeptical at first. The phone he used normally was monitored by us for it was you who had given it to him. He would not have stored such important details in it. He knew that he was being monitored. So, the man had been careful enough to through away the phone. Otherwise, I would have found him long ago."
"I am sorry, I am unable to follow you." Jared stopped her.
"He stopped using your phone the moment his scandal broke out. I guess he threw it away or must have destroyed it to stop you from tracking him. He has two other phones with different phone numbers."
"I see." Jared nodded, now understanding what the girl wanted to tell him.
"Yes, you might want to take a look at this. The man has some awesome videos of you and..." Maggie could not utter the word Godfather. So, she just turned to the old man who was already looking at her.
"What have you got?"
"There are many actually. Let me show you."
Jared's assistant placed a chair in front of the old man, who had not moved an inch from his place. Immediately after, Maggie played one of the many videos. The laptop lit up and the video started playing. It was dated three years back and Maggie saw that it was before Aria's father went missing.
Sparing Kane whose back was facing the camera, it captured all the other men in the room. Jared and his Godfather too were visible and they were discussing a hospital that had been shut down after Oliver revealed a video of its shady and illegal activities. Jared's eyes narrowed dangerously while the old man looked at it with an emotionless face. However, Maggie was sure that he was beyond furious with the way his knuckles at gone white.
All of a sudden, he started laughing creating a menacing atmosphere in the room. The assistant shivered in fright and Maggie's body stiffened. She took a peek at Kane who still had his eyes shut, presumably to have fainted after suffering from Jared's hands.
"He thought he could mess with us. With us." He snorted. "Who does he think he is? And how dare he threaten us with these videos? How could these be of any use to him once he is dead?" He stated, smirking at the man's foolishness. But Maggie was ready to burst his bubble for she had information about it.
"He could have destroyed you even after you killed him. This man had planned everything before." Maggie had no sympathy for Kane. He was a criminal and it was best that these pests were taken care of immediately. Although she wanted the Intelligence to deal with him and give him the punishment he deserved, it was better he met his fate in Jared's hands, adding more to his list of crimes.
"What are you trying to convey, Maggie?"
"Jared, do you see the tablet here?" She pointed to the one in his assistant's hand. "It is custom made and it has only one operation. All the videos are stored on it and there is a timer that starts every day at a fixed time. Kane has to stop the timer daily before it hits zero. It's like his shield."
"What happens if he does not stop it before the timer reaches zero?"
"The videos will be uploaded on the internet the moment the timer touches zero. It has been automated completely."
