Chapter 324 Impressed By Camilaâs Skill
âYoung Master Nolan, there's a seven-second gap here.â Silas furrowed his brows together as it
seemed like someone had deliberately deleted some parts of the footage.
âKeep rewinding. I want to know who else Chris came into contact with before he served the drinks.â
Again, the security officer rewound the footage and to no oneâs surprise, there was another gap
which lasted for 4.37 minutes.
Silas sneered at how Aleena had naively thought that she would be able to get away with it just by
deleting the footage but at the same time, he couldn't help but be impressed by how resourceful
she was. Then, he gave an instruction to the bodyguards standing outside, âLock Chris up first.â
The bodyguards acknowledged his instruction before leaving. The footage continued playing and it
reached the part where Aleena made space for Camila and how insistent she had been to propose a
toast to her. Throughout the entire process, Camila behaved politely and she didn't look like she
was on her guard at all when she was interacting with Aleena. Both Alex and Hayden were also
staring fixedly at the screen to check what they had been so busy doing at the time that made them
miss out the problem with Camilaâs drink.
In the footage, Camila was seen lifting up her wine glass and turning her body to face Aleena, and
just like that, the plate on the table was pushed onto the floor by her arm. What followed shortly
after that was them putting down their wine glasses and bending down to clear up the mess on the
floor. Silas furrowed his brows before looking up confusedly at Alex and Hayden, who appeared
similarly flummoxed. Surprisingly, they still couldn't figure out how Camila had done it even with the
footage. However, Silas had a hunch that she must have done something at that time. It was just
that when the footage was playing at normal speed, they couldn't see how she dropped the plate at
all.
Again, he instructed the security officer, âPlay the footage at a slower speed!â The security officer
did as he said and it was only when the footage was playing 8 times slower than the normal speed
did Silas manage to see her movement clearly. In fact, Camila had already nudged the plate closer
to the edge of the table in a barely
noticeable manner before the plate was dropped so that when she later turned her body, she would
be able to reach the plate with her arm. Just as Aleena bent down to check if she was injured, she
made use of that opportunity to place the glass of drugged drink next to Aleenaâs glass rather
shrewdly. She had done everything so swiftly that no one would be able to notice anything without
scrutinizing it. With that, by the time Aleena straightened up, she would naturally take the glass
which was nearer to her and drink the glass of drugged drink that originally belonged to Camila
Alex, who was very impressed with Camilaâs skill, exclaimed, âMy goodness, she can definitely move
fast!â Meanwhile, Hayden was so flabbergasted that he could not even utter a word. With a faint
smile, Silas recounted, âOn the day I met her for the first time at the airport, she bumped into a
random guy like that and she somehow got the guy's phone during the process. When I noticed her
bringing that phone to the toilet, assumed she was a habitual thief and because of that, I chased her
out when she came to Nolan Group for a job interview on the basis that she had a bad character.â
As soon as he said that, both Alex and Hayden were gaping at him with admiration and
consternation at the same time. âHow did you guys patch things up after that?â Alex asked. Hayden
questioned, âDid she tell you anything about the guy's phone?â Silas's face would be filled with
warmth and affection whenever Camila was mentioned. âI checked the CCTV footage of the airport
later on and found out that the
phone which belonged to another girl but because she didn't want to make a big fuss out of it, she
retrieved the girl's phone from the thief using the same way he had stolen it earlier. The reason why
she went to the toilet with that phone was because she wanted to return it to the girl. Regarding our
row that took place during the auction at the bar, she only started a fight with me because I rejected
her job application at that time.â âIf that's the case, how did the two of you..." Alex was really curious
as to how the two of them, who were arch-rivals in the first place, turned into such a lovey-dovey
couple. Silas seemed to be in great spirits today probably because he was glad that Camila
managed to avoid the drugged drink, or probably because he was proud of how brilliant she was.
In short, he was in a buoyant mood, so much so that he decided not to be bothered by the fact that
Camila was brought back home by George.
