Chapter 547
That seemed to have sealed Corinne’s fate because, in Lucas’s eyes, there was no more doubt. as to whether she was the real
mastermind behind all of this.
“That’s enough, Corinne! You can stop trying to worm your way out of this since no one here. will ever believe you again.”
Still, with the same relaxed expression on her face, Corinne looked at him and said, “Mister Lucas, don’t you think none of the
accusations the waiter threw at me make any sense?”
Lucas’ face darkened. “Then tell me, why would a waiter who you have never met in your life suddenly frame you like this?”
Corinne was disgusted by how Lucas would lose his reasoning whenever the matter involved Anya. She smiled mockingly and
said, “Mister Lucas, is there a possibility that the waiter is trying to pass the blame to me because he’s afraid of facing the
consequence of hurting your nephew?
“And also is there a possibility that he took away the memory card in the security camera because he was trying to destroy any
evidence that would point to his crime? And if I guessed correctly, the money was wired into his account anonymously. Meaning
to say, anyone could have wired him that money to make his story seem more believable.”
She then looked pointedly at Anya. It was obvious what she was trying to get at.
Anya acted like she was affronted. She leaned anxiously against Lucas and said, “Lucas, why is Corinne looking at me like that?
I didn’t do anything to her!”
Lucas was worried Anya would be frightened by Corinne’s threatening appearance, so he put his arm protectively around her
and patted her on the shoulder to calm her down. Then, his face darkened as he glared at Corinne.
“Corinne, it’s a shame as you would have done well for yourself if you’ve just used your brain for something other than this. But
now, you only have two options – you either turn yourself in at the police station or I can report you to the police.”
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. She was visibly annoyed by Lucas’ blindness to Anya’s antics. ‘ Huh! It’s hopeless for me to think
you’ll see the truth for what it is and you’re wrong, there is a third option and that is me proving my innocence!”
She took a few steps forward and rudely pushed away Lucas and Anya before making her way to the payment counter. Then
she said to the software engineer still seated inside, “Excuse
but can you please get up? I want to check something.”
me,
For some reason, the software engineer was cowed by the fuming Corinne. However, he did not dare to let her check the
surveillance footage without Lucas’ permission so he threw a questioning look at his boss.
Lucas was unhappy at being pushed by Corinne. Frowning, he gave the software engineer’s silent question some thought before
finally giving him a nod. ‘Let’s see what she’ll try to do this time. She’s a stubborn one, alright.’
After getting Lucas’ permission, the software engineer stood up to make way for Corinne, who immediately sat down and toggled
around with the buttons on the surveillance system software.
‘Only the memory card inside Bamboo Forest has been taken out so that means I can use the surveillance footage from the
other cameras to prove my innocence. Since Anya’s and Oliver’s stories matched up perfectly! The two of them must have met
up with each other before this and the most plausible time for them to do that was when Anya left the restroom as long as I can
find that footage, I can prove the mastermind to be Anya and not me!’ thought Corinne.
