Chapter 491
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
However, Olivia quickly followed Joeyâs gaze and saw Daniel.
Why is he here?â Olivia wondered.
Oliviaâs expression froze, and she instantly suppressed her words. Olivia could not let herself be recognized by Daniel. The more Olivia said, the easier it would be for her to expose herself. Therefore, she did not refute Joeyâs words. Olivia only said, âAre you primitive people? Instead of saying empty words, arenât you going to check the surveillance cameras?â
As soon as Olivia finished speaking, the managerâs face immediately turned pale. He stammered, âThe⦠the surveillance cameras are spoiltâ¦â âHow could they be spoilt?â Dolph frowned. Dolph wanted to beat up the manager. It was fine if there was such a big mistake, but they didnât even have surveillance cameras. âWhat exactly happened? Tell me everything in detail.â
The manager trembled. âI asked someone to go and get a copy of the surveillance footage just now, but for some reason, the video was destroyed. Todayâs footage canât be viewed at all.â
âCanât it be recovered?â
âNo.â The manager shook his head. âThe surveillance footage is very damaged. At present, no one can recover it unless itâs the worldâs top hacker.
The worldâs top hacker was a legendary existence. Besides, none of the four families knew such a person. Even if they did, there was no need to trouble, someone of such a high status over such a small matter.
Everyone was silent.
The atmosphere was stuck for a moment.
Now that the surveillance camera was damaged, there was no evidence to prove that Olivia was innocent, but at the same time, there was no evidence to prove that she was the one who did it either.
Although Joey had given a lot of reasons previously that seemed to be very convincing, they couldnât just use Joeyâs story as evidence of Oliviaâs Mood quietly on the spot. Olivia could restore the footage, but she do it so openly either.
the past few days, Olivia had discovered that Daniel treated her ently Although Daniel did not exactly recognize her, perhaps because of telepathy, Daniel seemed to be especially patient with Olivia. Olivia revealed a little more, Daniel would definitely recognize her. Therefore, Olivia stayed where she was quietly and did not say a word. When Daniel arrived, he stood silently at the door. However, as time passed, more and more people realized he was there. A few elders welcomed him warmly and said in a fawning tone, âWhy are you here? Quick, take a seat!â
Braedenâs reaction was the fastest. Braeden immediately gave up the center seat and got someone to bring a chair over.
Daniel sat down comfortably. Daniel glanced around and saw Olivia still standing where she had been originally.
Daniel frowned imperceptibly and said quietly, âGet more chairs. All of you, sit. Donât stand around me.â
Braeden was like a little servant, treating Danielâs words as an important. order. Braeden hurriedly waved his hand. âQuick, bring chairs over and sit down. The rest of you can leave.â
Even the host, Dolph, could not react as fast as Braeden.
The chairs assigned to Olivia were made of solid wood. They were a little. hard, but it wasnât that bad.
Only Daniel and Ellis were given sofa chairs. The others had hard wooden chairs. Some of them even sat on small stools.
Olivia held onto the chair and as she sat down, Ellis spoke with a troubled expression. âMiss Saintess, my lumbar spine is not good so I canât sit on a soft chair. Can you switch with me?â
Change chairs?â Oliva thought.
Olivia blinked.
However, before Olivia could respond, Braeden, who was beside Olivia, heard what Ellis had said and interrupted, âEllis, you have a bad back? Iâll get you a special chair.â
Ellis was speechless.
gaze swept over indifferently. Braeden suddenly felt like he was stared at by a ferocious beast and felt terrible.
edenâs body stiffened, and he did not dare to look back for a long ne By the time he reacted again, Ellis had already changed chairs with? Berry In the entire backstage room, there were only two identical sofa chairs. Of these two chairs, one was occupied by Daniel, and the other wast occupied by Olivia.
In an instant, the two of them stood out.
Joey looked at all of this and bit her lower lip, feeling a little indignant.
What right did Saintess Flores have? She was just an ugly woman. How could she be worthy of sitting in a similar chair as Daniel?â Joey thought. Joey couldnât help but speak, âSaintess, youâre really shameless. Youâre still sitting there like this now? Arenât you ashamed that you killed Lucyâs voodoo worm?â
âHearing Joeyâs accusation again, Olivia was not angry. In fact, there was no anger on Oliviaâs face at all. Olivia raised her eyes slightly and said. slowly,â Miss Sprout, if you have evidence, take it out. If not, stop it. Just because you raise your voice, it doesnât mean youâre right.âââ
âYouâre still not admitting it!â Joeyâs face turned red in anger.
Joey was only in her early 20s and was still young. Moreover, Joey had been handpicked by the Sprout family, so her looks were naturally. opânotch.
oey seemed to be extremely aggrieved. Joey puffed up her cheeks and ooked at Daniel with watery eyes. âDaniel, please say something in airness. How can there be such a bad person like Saintess? Itâs fine if sheâs ealous of Lucy, but she even harmed Lucyâs voodoo worm. Sheâs too vil!â
When facing Daniel, Joey was not aggressive. Instead, Joey looked like at itiful and cute little girl who had been wronged.
Youâre saying Saintess is jealous of Lucy, and thatâs why she killed Lucyâs. oodoo worm?â Daniel asked.
Daniel sat on the chair, and the sunlight shining through the window. inded on his wellâdefined side profile, making him look like a God.
bey was stunned for a moment. When Joey came back to her senses, ice turned even redder.
her 16:51 MO heart was pounding.
Does Daniel believe me?â Joey wondered.
happy and excited. Joey tried her best to control the expression on her face so that she could show her most beautiful appearance. Jory lowered her head and raised her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered like butterflies flapping their wings. âYes, thatâs right. Saintess Flores was worried that Lucy would be in the limelight in todayâs Voodoo Worm Competition and steal your attention, so she killed the voodoo worm.â
âOh.â Daniel nodded. âI understand. This reason is sufficient. From what you said, it was indeed caused by jealousy.â
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Daniel in surprise. They had not expected him to agree with this reason.
âDanielâ¦â Braeden spoke. âYou also think that the Saintess Flores caused the death of the voodoo worm?â
âHow is that possible?â Daniel said casually. âIf itâs jealousy, it should be Miss Sprout. She was jealous of Miss Lopez and caused the death of the voodoo worm!â
Hearing this, Joey was dumbfounded. Joeyâs temples throbbed, and her mind went blank. âDanâ¦
Daniel⦠What are you talking about?â
âCanât you hear me?â Daniel chuckled. âI said you were jealous of Lucy and killed her voodoo worm!â
âMoreover, itâs not just that.â Daniel waved his hand. Danielâs tone was extremely cold, and there seemed to be a faint vindictive aura as he spoke. âIn Maple Villa, I heard you say with my own ears that you wanted to kill Lucyâs voodoo worm, frame Saintess, and even murder Miss Dale.â âYouâre talking nonsense!â Joey broke down. Joey stood up and shouted, âI didnât! I didnât say all that! Thatâs just your side of the story. I never said hose things. Youâre lying!â
Is that so?â Daniel asked calmly. His tone was light. âSince I canât convict you just because of my oneâ
sided story, what right do you have to convict Saintess?â
Only God knew how much restraint Daniel had used to not throw Joey ut to the wolves.
This bitch bullied Livy. Even dying ten thousand times would not be nough.â Daniel thought.
