With someone like Patricia, who has no morals, nobody can make her admit her misdeeds unless sheâs been completely exposed.
Ellinor shook her head and gently tapped her forehead. The evidence was right in their faces, and they still had the audacity to argue. It was laughable.
Patricia saw Ellinorâs frustrated reaction and thought Ellinor had no more moves to make. So, she pretended to be understanding and advised, âEllinor, you should actually go and ask your stepmom and sister. Ask them who they met in the park this morning and what they got from that person, instead of asking me. The person in the photo really isnât me.â
Ellinor laughed, âMs. Howard, do you and your mum consider any photos or videos that could prove your wrongdoings as fake?â
Patricia feigned innocence, âWe donât think theyâre fake, itâs just that you, Ellinor, canât really prove the authenticity of what youâre presenting. Because of Theo, youâre inherently biased against me. Youâve always seen me as competition.â
Competition?
Ellinor never saw her as a competitor.
She misunderstood the relationship between Ms. Howard and Theo before, but she decided to let go of him, never thinking of competing with Patricia Later, the misunderstanding between her and Theo was cleared up, and she realized that Theo didnât see Patricia as important. So, she wouldnât consider Patricia a competitor.
Patricia sure knew how to score points for herself.
Ellinor lazily rubbed her forehead, âMs. Howard, youâre overthinking it. I donât have the spare time to worry about you.â
Patricia lightly smiled, âEllinor, weâre both girls. I can understand how youâre feeling right now. Itâs okay to admit it.â
Ellinor lightly laughed, âAlright, say whatever you want. Now letâs get back to the point. Ms. Howard, since you and your mom donât believe in the authenticity of this photo I brought, letâs check out the footage from the streets. We all know that city traffic surveillance canât be faked.â
She continued, âMs. Howard, you were recorded by the surveillance cameras driving your familyâs spare car to the park this morning. You even got a ticket for running a red light, right?â
Ellinor said, taking her phone back from Balfourâs hand, opening a traffic management app, and pulling out the relevant surveillance records.
Patriciaâs face had turned pale by that time, but she still clung to a glimmer of optimism, not believing that Ellinor could obtain these internal police surveillance.
Nevertheless, Ellinor not only had the surveillance footage, but she also played it on the living room television for everyone to see.
The surveillance footage was very clear, with the date and exact time displayed in the top right corner.
At five in the morning. Patricia was driving an ordinary small car on the road to the outskirts..
(enia became very flustered after seeing the footage on TV.
Dean and Alyssa looked at their granddaughter, who was full of falsehoods, with eyes filled with dismay and bewilderment.
