Balfour’s eyebrows knitted in deep dissatisfaction with the outcome.
Patricia appeared utterly shocked and baffled “What the heck? Why is the CCTV from our private
dining room the only one without a memory card? Bro, this is really weird!”
Balfour found it equally puzzling. The CCTV was fixed, but only the camera in their private dining room
was missing a memory card. It was hard to believe it was a
coincidence
His eyes were bright and thoughtful as they swept over Ellinor, who was also investigating the truth, as
a hint of suspicion flickered within him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing her brother’s reaction, Patricia also turned her gaze toward Ellinor Seeming to have thought of
something, she said.
“Ellinor, I remember you left the room after Theo and I. Could it be that you took the memory card from
the camera to destroy the evidence?”
Hearing his sister’s suspicions, Balfour’s doubt grew. “Ellinor, what’s your answer?”
Ellinor responded, “I didn’t take any memory card.”
But her denial, without any proof, seemed rather weak.
Patricia shook her head as her face filled with disbelief. I see. Ellinor, you had already taken the
memory card from the camera beforehand! That’s why you’re so confident. You’re pretending to be
righteous by asking us to check the CCTV together and claiming to prove your innocence. In reality,
you’re just pretending not to feel guilty and want us to see you as calm and composed, so my brother
and the others might believe you’re innocent! Right?”
From the moment she entered the restaurant, Ellinor had been standing quietly by the side, not voicing
any opinions. Now that the stolen memory card had made her the prime suspect, she wasn’t surprised
Because the moment Patricia suddenly changed her attitude and agreed to come and check the CCTV,
she knew things wouldn’t easily go her way.
The memory card being taken indicated it held the truth of the situation, which could expose Patricia’s
attempt at framing her. That’s why it was urgently removed.
This undoubtedly proved that the disappearance of the memory card was directly related to Patricia.
Without a doubt, Patricia was the one who was most afraid of everyone seeing the CCTV footage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Patricia had been with them the whole time, with no chance to take the memory card. So there
were only two possibilities.
One possibility was that Patricia had already sent someone to take the memory card.
The other was that someone in the restaurant was in cahoots with Patricia and had taken care of it for
her.
As Ellinor remained silent, Patricia asked mockingly. “Ellinor, why aren’t you speaking? Have you
realized you’re wrong? If you’d admitted your mistake earlier, I might have forgiven you. But you let
things escalate to this point! Even if I wanted to forgive you now, my brother wouldn’t let you off the
hook so easily!”
Ellinor still ignored Patricia, knowing full well that Patricia was behind this.
She turned to the restaurant owner and asked, “Has anyone else dined in that room after we left?”
The owner shook her head, ‘No, it was past dining hours after you left, no other customers came in
Since there were no other customers, it could only be the restaurant staff.
Ellinor asked further, “Where is the waiter who refilled our soup at noon?”
