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

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.
