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 Di.d 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

The lady owner became a little defensive. "That waiter should be in the staff dorm right now. He asked for a half-day leave 'cause he wasn't feeling too well. Why are you looking for him anyway?""I have some questions I want to ask him about what happened in Bamboo Forest today," Corinne replied."But I've already asked him what happened in Bamboo Forest. He said he had nothing to do with the kid getting burned. Forgive me for saying this, but you all shouldn't involve my staff in whatever grievances you have with each other. He's just a young kid who has no choice but to come out and work to support his family."Corinne nodded and smiled to show she empathized with the lady owner's concern. "Don't worry. I just want to ask him some questions. I promise I won't make his life any more difficult than it already is."On one hand, the lady owner wanted to protect her staff, and on the other, she did not want to offend her customers so after thinking it through, she called out to one o

Corinne slowly came back to her senses. She looked at the furious Lucas and then at the two-faced Anya.Suddenly, she laughed. "Mister Lucas, you can't call this Oliver a witness."Lucas glared at her. "Why not? He and Anya don't know each other and yet their testimonies are the same! Isn't that enough?"'They don't know each other? Ha! Looks like Mister Lucas still doesn't know how devious his little sister is. Well, let me enlighten him today!' thought Corinne."Mister Lucas, please give me ten minutes and I'll prove why Oliver cannot be a witness and why we shouldn't take his testimony seriously."Corinne was not in a hurry to refute Lucas's words but instead asked him for ten minutes.Lucas agreed to give her ten minutes since it would make a difference to the outcome. He wanted to see her suffer through the realization that there was nothing she could do to turn the tables.Anya, too, was confident that she would come out the winner in this case. After all, she already told

"Sure thing." The software engineer immediately sat back down in front of the computer to get the surveillance footage Corinne asked for.Doing that required some time and Corinne was a little tired of standing so she looked around the restaurant for an empty chair she could pull over and sit. However, while she was doing that, she happened to meet Jeremy's deep, dark eyes.Jeremy followed them to the restaurant because the matter involved his son but he did not insert himself in their investigation. Instead, he situated himself at a round table not far from where they were and lit up a cigarette languidly as though the whole thing had nothing to do with him and he was only there to watch the show.The cigarette smoke obscured Jeremy from Corinne so it was hard for her to tell what he was thinking. She was starting to wonder whether he cared about Anya and Joey at all.Suddenly, someone passed her a bottle of mineral water. This pulled her out of her thoughts; she looked down at th

"I just forgot about it, that's all! Do you know how many rooms I have to clean up every day? It stands to reason I'll forget which is which," said Oliver stubbornly.Corinne smiled. "Oh my, your memory isn't that great huh? Now I'm worried whether you've ever mixed up the orders you're in charge of. Though I must wonder why the owner of this restaurant would keep you on the job if your memory is as bad as you've implied."Oliver guiltily shifted his eyes away from her. "No! It's only today my memory isn't that great 'cause, 'cause I'm not feeling well. Miss, why do you insist on pushing the blame on me when you're the one who snatched the bowl of soup away from me and poured it all over the kid?""Did I say you have anything to do with that? I'm just asking you where the memory card is." Corinne suddenly smiled but only for a second before her face became serious again. "Oliver, it's still not too late for you to hand over the memory card now. Otherwise, I'll call the police and th

"When did I order you to take out and destroy the memory card? What communication method did I use to do that? Which bank did I use to wire you the money? And just how much did I wire you?"Corinne shot out question after question at Oliver to confuse him. She was certain Oliver was lying. 'Anya must have somehow threatened him when she was coughing. If not, he wouldn't have changed his mind. What does Anya have to make him so scared of her?'However, a last-minute fib would not be perfect. Meaning to say, it would be easy for Corinne to prove that he was lying.Oliver started panicking again and stammered, "You contacted me 30 minutes ago using a social media app, then you wired me 15,000 dollars!"Corinne raised her eyebrow. "Oh? Social media app, you say? Surely you must have our chat history then? Why don't you show it to everyone here."Oliver took a gulp and said, "As if I would still keep the chat history. You've ordered me to delete all of our conversations after that.""

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 evide

Chapter 548

Anya was not worried at all when she saw Corinne busying herself at the computer. She found the whole thing laughable.'The memory card in Bamboo Forest has already been destroyed so there's no way she could find anything even if she spent the whole day in front of that computer. And up till now, instead of speaking up for her, Jeremy has only been quietly sitting by the side. Seems like he's disappointed in her which is a good thing for me. All my efforts would have been well worth it as long as he believes Corinne to be the type of evil woman who would hurt an innocent child,' thought Anya.She was secretly jumping for joy but on the surface, she let out a helpless sigh before innocently walking up to the counter and said softly, "Corinne, why don't you just give up your act and come clean with your crime? As I said, I'm willing to ask Lucas to show you mercy if you just admit what you've done!"Corinne completely ignored Anya. She did not even raise any of her eyebrows. Instead,

At that moment, Anya's expression stiffened and her eyes were wavering with guilt. It never crossed her mind that Corinne would be able to find footage of her and Oliver talking with each other."Mister Lucas, please take a closer look. Miss Anya's hand came in contact with Oliver's hand while they were talking."Corinne rewound the video by around 10 seconds or so and put it in slow-motion."Look, their hand movements are very obvious. You can see Miss Anya taking something out of her pocket and stuffing it into Oliver's hand. Mister Lucas, would two people who don't know each other need to sneak around and pass things to each other while talking?"At that moment, Corinne's tone was filled with sarcasm, but it was not too much. She was just giving Lucas a taste of his own medicine.Lucas did not say anything. Instead, he just watched the two footage quietly while the expression on his face became colder and colder. After that, he stood up and looked deeply into Anya's eyes."Any

Anya looked tearfully at Lucas. "I was just giving him some tips. Is that so wrong?"Lucas frowned. "Just some tips?"Anya nodded innocently. "Yes! I thought I should give him some tip because he spent all that time patiently recommending food for me but I didn't order anything in the end."Corinne smirked. "Didn't you say that the waiter advised you against ordering more food since we've already ordered so much? And now you're saying he spent all that time recommending what to order? Besides, it's normal to give tips so why do you act like you're doing something illegal?"Anya knew every word of Corinne's was aimed to unravel her lies so she ignored her and focused all of her theatrics on her brother. "Lucas, you know I have a habit of giving the wait staff tips, right? I did it secretly because I wanted to make sure his colleague didn't see it; that way he can have the tip all to himself."Lucas narrowed his eyes and looked at Anya's innocent face. He could not do it. He could n
