Chapter 545

“I just forgot about it, that’s all! Do you know how many rooms I have to clean up every day? It stands

to reason I’ll forget which is which,” said Oliver stubbornly.

Corinne smiled. “Oh my, your memory isn’t that great huh? Now I’m worried whether you’ve ever mixed

up the orders you’re in charge of. Though I must wonder why the owner of this restaurant would keep

you on the job if your memory is as bad as you’ve implied.”

Oliver guiltily shifted his eyes away from her. “No! It’s only today my memory isn’t that great cause,

’cause I’m not feeling well. Miss, why do you insist on pushing the blame on me when you’re the one

who snatched the bowl of soup away from me and poured it all over the kid?”

“Did I say you have anything to do with that? I’m just asking you where the memory card is.” Corinne

suddenly smiled but only for a second before her face became serious again. “Oliver, it’s still not too

late for you to hand over the memory card now. Otherwise, I’ll call the police and they have ways of

finding out who took the memory card.

“I do believe that you were cautious enough to wipe away the fingerprints on the security camera but

what you might know is, the police became more advanced in recent years so even if you’ve wiped

away the fingerprints, you’ll still leave behind some of your skin cells and those can stay in the air for

up to 24 hours.

“The police would only need to collect some of the skin cells and compare it to the suspect’s DNA to

determine whether he’s the perpetrator. This is what they called the Touch DNA method. The police

might even suspect you had the intention to hurt the kid if they found out. you were trying to hide the

fact that you were the one who took the memory card.”

Corinne explained everything so confidently that Jeremy, Jason, and Lucas – who were all highly

educated – became slightly mystified. They exchanged glances with each other, thinking they must

have been living under the rock up till now to have never heard of this method called Touch DNA.

However, what they did not know was Corinne made everything up. There was no such thing as Touch

DNA. She only came up with all that to scare Oliver into confessing.

Oliver who was not that highly educated did not understand the words that came out of Corinne’s

mouth. He could, however, tell she was highly educated so he believed her. Thus, he started panicking,

thinking the police had the way to put him at the crime scene using his DNA.

“No! That’s not it! Why would I want to hurt an innocent kid when I have no grievances toward any of

you?”

“Then tell me, did you or did you not take the memory card out of the security camera and if you did,

whose order did you do it under?” asked Corinne, giving him the final blow.

Oliver was sweating profusely. He instinctively glanced at Anya and said, “She, she was the

7/2

one who-”

The truth was about to come out.

Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Who is she?”

Oliver looked helplessly at Anya. He was about to break. “She’s, she’s ”

Suddenly, Anya started coughing vehemently as though something was stuck in her throat.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

“What’s the matter, Anya?” Lucas held her and patted her on the back worriedly.

After a while, she finally stopped coughing. Pale in the face, she said weakly, “I’m fine, Lucas.

I just suddenly smelled the grease and smoke coming from the back kitchen, that’s all.”

Relieved, Lucas said, “I’m just glad you’re okay.”

However, at the time that Anya was coughing, she secretly gave Oliver a warning look.

Oliver was shocked. The sudden threat made him change his mind. Thus, he pointed at Corinne and

said, “It’s you! You were the one who ordered me to take out the memory card from the security

camera! You said you didn’t want to go to jail for hurting the kid so you paid me a lump sum of money

to help you destroy the evidence! And now you’re trying to pin the blame on me! How could you do

something like this?”

Corinne frowned. ‘Looks like Anya manages to save herself again.”
