Chapter 547

That seemed to have sealed Corinne’s fate because, in Lucas’s eyes, there was no more doubt. as towhether 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 everbelieve 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 suddenlyframe 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 theblame 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 hewas trying to destroy any evidence that would point to his crime? And if I guessed correctly, the moneywas wired into his account anonymously. Meaning to say, anyone could have wired him that money tomake 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 isCorinne 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 armprotectively 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 forsomething other than this. But now, you only have two options – you either turn yourself in at the policestation 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 optionand that is me proving my innocence!”

She took a few steps forward and rudely pushed away Lucas and Anya before making her way to thepayment 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 dareto let her check the surveillance footage without Lucas’ permission so he threw a questioning look athis boss.

Lucas was unhappy at being pushed by Corinne. Frowning, he gave the software engineer’s silentquestion some thought before finally giving him a nod. ‘Let’s see what she’ll try to do this time. She’s astubborn one, alright.’

After getting Lucas’ permission, the software engineer stood up to make way for Corinne, whoimmediately 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 thesurveillance 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 mostplausible time for them to do that was when Anya left the restroom as long as I can replace that footage, Ican prove the mastermind to be Anya and not me!’ thought Corinne.
