Chapter 5

My head buzzed, and a chill shot from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

With shaking hands, I clicked on a group chat called "Seafood Should Be Eaten Fresh."

What greeted my eyes were auctions of different categories of "seafood."

But the photos being posted were intimate pictures of young girls of various ages.

What struck me like a thunderbolt was that Derek seemed to be a regular member.

I kept scrolling up and suddenly found the video my colleague had forwarded to our group chat.

The person who posted it was Derek!

I collapsed onto the sofa, my mind going blank.

After quite a while, I finally recovered.

I opened the photo album and found it densely packed with videos of Mia from various angles.

My vision went dark, and I nearly fainted.

Fury erupted like a volcano. I wanted to charge into the bedroom immediately, wake Derek up, confront him, tear him apart!

But I quickly calmed down. No, I couldn't alert him.

If he'd been able to hide this from me for so long, he must have kept some insurance.

I needed to gather solid evidence before he'd have nothing to say!

I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down and think about my next move.

I used my phone to photograph the chat records and transfer records, then put his phone back. After that, I contacted a private investigator to investigate Derek.

The next morning, as soon as Derek left the house, I received materials from the private investigator.

Unexpectedly, Derek had joined this organization even before Mia was born.

At first, he only watched videos posted by others. Later, he actually started selling videos of Mia.

Looking at the dense consumption records all belonging to Derek, my heart felt like it was being cut with knives---agonizing pain followed by extreme nausea.

Starting a month ago, they'd actually developed offline activities. The location was the swimming center where Mia had enrolled.

No wonder Derek went out for team building every week, lying to me that it was a company gathering inconvenient for family members. How laughable.

The so-called gathering was actually a group of them getting together to auction off videos they'd secretly filmed.

These scum---I had to make them pay!
