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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmockingly 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.”

For some reason, the software engineer was cowed by the fuming Corinne. However, he did not dare to let her

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.
