The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 541
A frown appeared on Lucas’s face; he was not happy at all.
“How could this be? Lucas, don’t you find it weird that the only memory card that’s missing is the one in Bamboo Forest?” asked
Anya with exaggerated surprise.
Lucas thought so too. The surveillance system was fixed but there was no memory card in just one of the security cameras. It
would be hard-pressed for anyone to see this as a coincidence.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked suspiciously at Corinne.
Anya finally saw what she was hoping to see in Lucas’ eyes. She, too, followed Lucas’ gaze to look at Corinne. Then she
pretended a thought just come to her and said, “Corinne, I remember you were the last one to leave the room after Jeremy and I
rushed Joey to the hospital Did you perhaps stay to steal the memory card so there’ll be no evidence of what you did?”
Lucas became even more suspicious of Corinne after hearing what Anya said. “Corinne, how do you explain this?”
“I didn’t steal any memory card,” Corinne said, though it would be hard to convince anyone. since she did not have any proof.
Anya shook her head and said in disbelief, “I get it now! Corinne, you must’ve stolen the memory card before we even got into
the room. That’s why you so confidently asked us to come here to check the surveillance footage to prove your innocence! All
this is a ruse to trick us into believing that you’re not guilty. Am I right?”
As soon as she entered the restaurant, Corinne did nothing but wait quietly by the side to see how things would develop. From
the moment Anya suddenly had a change in the attitude of wanting to come to the restaurant to check the surveillance camera,
Corinne knew the truth. would not come out that easily. Thus, she was not surprised that Lucas and Anya would be pointing their
fingers at her once they discovered someone stole the memory card from Bamboo Forest.
However, the fact that the memory card was stolen meant that the security camera indeed. recorded what happened in Bamboo
Forest at the time they were in it. Meaning to say, Anya’s lies would be exposed and that was why it had to be taken away.
‘Anya has something to do with the missing memory card. I don’t doubt that she’s afraid to let anyone see what happened. But
how did she do it when she was with us this whole time? There are only two possibilities. One, she sent someone to steal the
memory card and two, she has bribed someone in this restaurant to clean up her mess!’ thought Corinne.

Seeing Corinne saying nothing, Anya came to interrogate her, “Corinne, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you finally willing to
admit your wrongdoing? I would have forgiven you if you just admitted what you did at the beginning but you insisted on dragging
everyone here and look what happened? I’m afraid even if I’m willing to forgive you now, my brother will not be as merciful as
me.”
Corinne continued to ignore Anya. She knew without a doubt that Anya was the culprit behind. all of this. Instead, she turned
around and asked the lady owner, “Excuse me, but can you tell me if any customers used that room after us?”
The lady owner shook her head. “No. It was past lunchtime by the time you all left so no customers came in after that.”
‘If no customers came in after us then it must be one of the staff here who took the card.’
“Ma’am, do you know where is the waiter that brought the soup for us this afternoon?” Corinne asked again.
