Chapter 27

Surveillance camerash Joe was stunned for a moment before he quickly caught the drift. “Yes, we don’t have any surveillance cameras in private rooms because we need to protect our customers‘ privacy. But our | coverage monitoring to guarantee service kitchen, ingredients storage, and corridors are under transparency,” he explained.

Ben replied flatly, “Show us the surveillance video of this corridor, and let’s see what happened just now With the surveillance video, they would soon know what happened.

People would lie, but the surveillance system wouldn’t.

The people present were eager to watch the surveillance video.

“It’s great that we have surveillance video here,” Timothy said with a sneer. “With so many of us watching, you can’t twist the facts no matter how powerful you are, Ben.”

Timothy truly wanted the watch the surveillance video.

Yana went pale upon hearing what Timothy said.

She suddenly tightened her grip on Timothy’s hands.

Timothy looked at her, confused.

Yana forced a smile and said, “Timothy, I think we’d better not check the video. If the word about it gets out, it will harm Ben’s reputation.”

“Yana, you are such a kind girl that you are still thinking about his reputation,” Timothy replied, pitying Yana. “Don’t worry, I believe it’s a just world, and Ben couldn’t get away with what he did.”

“But… but…” Yana got anxious.

“I know you are worried that he would take revenge on me after this, but don’t worry. I will do you justice at all costs,” Timothy said with a fearless look.

Yana felt embarrassed.

She should be moved by Timothy’s words..

But the fact was that she felt helpless about it.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

14.44 Ben clapped his hands and said, “What a loving couple you are.”

“It’s too late to try to flatter us. I will check the surveillance video no matter what,” Timothy said expressionlessly.

Ben glanced at Timothy as if the latter was a fool.

“Is he an idiot?

Isn’t he the one who proposed to check the surveillance video?” he wondered.

But since he was in a good mood today, he decided not to take it seriously.

Ben gave Joe a look, and the latter immediately led the way to the surveillance.

None of the guests left because they didn’t want to miss the fun.

Joe felt a little uneasy.

Ben and Yana accused each other on the matter.

The surveillance video would prove whose fault it was. In that way, Joe would either offend Ben or Timothy.

He didn’t care about Yana.

Compared with Timothy, Ben meant much more to Joe.

Thus, Joe silently prayed that the surveillance video would prove that Ben was innocent.

Yana herself knew very well what happened.

She wished she could leave the place at once, but she couldn’t as Timothy held her closely. With a pale face, she was taken into the surveillance room.

How to proceed with the matter was simple.

The security staff found the surveillance video of the corridor and played it back by several minutes.

A clear video started to play on the screen.

The security staff raised the video volume considerately.

Thus, everyone in the room could hear the voices in the video clearly.

“What a small world, Ben.”

Sure enough, it was Yana who started the conversation.

She had a shy look on her face as she spoke in a very soft and sweet voice.

Timothy’s expression changed slightly at the voice.

He could still bear it at that point. “Yana was here to make peace, so it was natural she would act so flatteringly to him,” he thought.

However, what he heard the next second shocked him.

In the video. Yana continued in a sweet voice saying that Ben deserved a better woman, suggesting that Susan was not tender and attentive enough to him.

The people present were rendered speechless.

They recalled how Yana lied about her purpose of looking for Ben there.

When Yana claimed that she loved Susan and came to see Ben hoping that he could help her reconcile with Susan, the people present took pity on her.

Now that they had seen the video, they realized how ironic the whole thing was.

Timothy couldn’t help glancing at Yana.

But she lowered her head, avoiding his eyes.

Timothy let out a sigh and found another excuse for Yana’s behavior.

In his eyes, it was very rude of Susan to have pushed Yana before, so it was natural that Yana would speak ill of Susan behind her back.

“Yes, it was natural Yarla would do that,” he thought.

With this in mind, Timothy began to feel that the facts didn’t matter; what mattered was that Yana was bullied, and he should avenge her.

Thinking that the part about how Ben bullied Yana was yet to play on the screen, Timothy pulled himself together and continued watching the video.

In the video, Ben looked indifferent when Yana tried hard to please him.

He kept his usual poker face even when she offered to cook for him.

Everyone present could tell that Yana was indeed trying to seduce Ben, who, however, ignored her.

Ben made no response and tried to leave with a poker face.

AAA However, the video wasn’t over; it recorded what the people saw back then.

As the video continued to play, the people in the room saw that Yana caught up with Ben, who had taken a few steps away, and tugged at his clothes while calling out his name softly.

It was obvious that she was trying to seduce him, given the flirtatious look on her face.

But Ben pushed her away and warned her to stay away.

After that. Joe walked over with some guests.

The surveillance video brought everything to light.

Ben hadn’t crossed the line from the very beginning to the end.

What he did was merely stop Yana from pestering him and warn her to stay away.

In no way could that be regarded as bullying her.

Instead, it showed that he was a good man.

At that moment, a female guest cut in. “Without this surveillance video, I would never know that some girl who appeared to be pure and kind actually tried to seduce her brother–in–law. Mr. Landor, I have to say that you’re a firm man that can’t be swayed.”

“You should learn from Mr. Landor as to how to deal with a bitchy girl,” another woman spoke to her mate.

“Mrs. Landor is so lucky, someone said with jealousy.

“Well, how could she try to seduce her brother–in–law? What kind of sister is she?” someone mocked Yana.

Timothy kept silent with an icy look.

He didn’t know what to say say.

He had made a fool of himself by trying to defend Yana before.

With compressed lips, he let go of Yana’s hands.

Panic–stricken, Yana said with tearful eyes, “It’s not like what you thought. I didn’t mean anything else.

I was just trying…

“Yana,” Susan interrupted her in a calm voice, “Everyone knows what you did after watching the video, so I won’t make any comment on that. But I think you should explain why you accused Ben of bullying you. Certainly, he did none of what you accused him of doing. He could never clear his name without the video.”

ANN HIT G יוד E E E “… never said that he bullied me.” Yana replied, avoiding Susan’s eyes.

It was true that she didn’t say those words, but she was suggesting the same thing.

Susan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. In a composed tone, she continued, “Guys, you all saw what happened and knew that Ben was innocent. So I believe you can tell if these rumors about him are true or not. I won’t urge you to change your opinions about him; I just want to ask you to do some research before you spread any news about him.”

After saying those words, Susan took Ben’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Ben, who was known as a brutal man, left with her, smiling.
