Chapter 959 I’m Not Capable Enough
Eunice’s words were like a well-aimed arrow pierced through Wanda’s heart mercilessly, and
her face turned stony as she didn’t bother with courtesies as she snapped, ”What do you
want?”
Of course, Eunice heard the anger in her voice, but she didn’t care. She rested her chin
against her palm and tilted her head as she looked at Wanda meaningfully before parting
her red lips. ”Miss Muller, you like Mr. Sawyer, don’t you?”
Wanda was stunned and was a little surprised because she didn’t expect her to be so
straightforward.
Her gaze darted around as she tried to come up with something to hide, but eventually, she
figured there was no shame in admitting such a thing. So, she didn’t deny Eunice’s words
and stared into the woman’s eyes with a tinge of hostility. ”Even if that was true, so what?
There isn’t any man better than Nicholas in this world. Besides, how could I not fall for him
after the days we spent together? I’m sure Miss Eunice shares the same sentiment.”

slender fingers flitted across the keyboard while his face wore a grim expression. Anyone
would have jumped to the conclusion that he faced a rather challenging problem.
Yet, on the screen of the computer, the surveillance video Tessa gave him was playing. It
was as he suspected. Someone had edited this video, and a part of it was deleted.
Soon, he was done writing the code and a recovery window popped up on the screen;
heaving a sigh of relief.

Eunice raised an eyebrow
and let out a light laugh.
”You’re right. His charm is
hard to resist.”
He had been working on decoding this since last night when he got the video, but the other
party was much cleverer than he expected. Thus, he spent the whole night looking for a
way to crack the code to recover the deleted footage.
At the moment, the recovery bar on the screen had run mid-way.
He looked at the screen with cold eyes. Let’s see who dares bully my sister! Unexpectedly,
the recovery of the footage was met with an obstacle as his code failed.
He looked at the screen incredulously as his brows furrowed deeper as he started working
on his code again.
Alas, the whole morning went by, and he still couldn’t do a thing to recover the video.
At this moment, Henry knocked on the door and entered the office, chattering, ”Dude, it’s
lunchtime. It’s time for lunch.”
”Just get a takeaway for me? I’m not going.”
Timothy replied without lifting his head, and his fingers did not slow down the slightest. So,
it was only natural for Henry to notice that he was way too preoccupied with something,
making him curious.
It had been a long time since Henry had seen his good friend so grave. Finally, his curiosity
got the better of him as he went over to Timothy’s desk while he asked in concern, ”What
happened?”
Just then, he saw a window pop up saying that the recovery had failed.
So, he pressed for answers, ”What’s that?”
Timothy spared him a glance but didn’t hide the incident regarding Tessa’s stolen
manuscript. Instead, he roughly briefed Henry about the theft.
Henry was furious after hearing about the matter. ”How could they do that to Tess? Give me
a copy of this video, Tim. I’m going to help.”
Timothy didn’t refuse his offer and immediately gave him a copy. Still, they didn’t manage

After they had tried to fix the surveillance footage for the whole day, Timothy finally gave
up as he video-called Tessa in utter dejection.
”Tess.”
”Oh my goodness, what have you done? Look at those black circles! Did you not sleep last
night?” Tessa was concerned when she saw the unhidden fatigue painted across his face.
He knew there was no point in lying to her, so he told her earnestly, ”I just wanted to help
you look for the culprit.”
Once Tessa heard his explanation, she didn’t know if she should be angry or feel gratified
that her brother cherished her so dearly that he had sacrificed his sleep for her. ”I’m not in
any rush anyways. So why are you putting yourself through this? Don’t do this next time. If
not, I’ll never confide in you ever again.”
”Alright, I got it. I won’t do this again.” He knew she was worried about his health and his
heart warmed as he listened to her light rebuke.
Then, he changed the topic to the video and said solemnly, ”I worked with Henry to decode
it, but we were unsuccessful. It’s obvious they were prepared for this.”
It would be a lie to say that Tessa wasn’t disappointed by this. She knew her brother’s skills,
so she didn’t expect they would fail to recover the deleted footage.
Timothy also felt terrible when he saw her apparent dismay. ”I’m not good enough.”
Her heart tugged when she saw the self-blame written all over his face. ”This has nothing to
do with you. So don’t you dare blame yourself.”
