“It is him! I’m sure!” Tess hissed. “This time he has crossed the line!”

I frowned. “Who’s Antonio? And why would he do that to you?”

“He’s the owner of our biggest rival company, AR Industries. That man lives with the agenda to destroy our fame and image to get back to the top in the market, the place that was snatched by Valencian Corp from them.”

The same company who was competing with our every deal and using the leaked information? Now it all made sense.

“We’re in progress with the Arabs regarding a mega project. If we get this, our clothing market will spread across the whole Middle East. And that’s what is bothering him. So he wants to defame us by this and turn the Arabs against us,” he continued, lips pressed tight in displeasure.

The whole time, Ace remained quiet. But his tight grip on the steering wheel was the proof of the storm brewing in him. This whole incident was bothering him a lot.

I wanted to reach out and hold his hand, but I held myself back.

“But he couldn’t do it on his own, right? He must’ve used someone to do this.” I pointed out. “Did you see anyone suspicious around your car today?”

Maybe we could find out who was leaking information from the office if we get a hold of this person?

Caleb shook his head. “No. I left home this morning and was going directly to the office until they stopped me in the middle of the street.”

“They must’ve done it either at night or this morning before you left,” Tess thought aloud, her brows furrowed.

“But who could that be?” I looked at Tess. “Did someone visit you last night or this morning?”

She nodded. “Yes, some people I called to resize my wedding dress and make some changes. They needed to see it on me before they fixed it. So, they dropped in this morning.”

“Maybe one of them did it? What about the watchman? I mean, he stays there all the time—”

“He didn’t do it,” Ace finally spoke up, casting me a look. “He’s been working for us for years now. He’s reliable.”

Caleb nodded, agreeing. “Yeah, Joe wouldn’t even think of it in his wildest dreams.”

“Oh, okay.” Then something clicked in my head. “What about the CCTV cameras? I saw them installed in your house. You’ve got one outside, right?”

Tess sighed. “Yes, we do. But it wasn’t working since the night of our engagement party, and I was too busy to call someone to repair it.”

From the party night? When a lot of people were present there?

“That means…”

“It was all planned. They did it on purpose so that they could execute their plan easily.” Ace finished for me, his nostrils flaring.

“Oh God! And we were so clueless about it,” Tess whispered.
