Chapter 817

Vickie’s eyes were calm. She glanced over at Yuliana before looking at Reina.

Then, she said in a low voice, “The surveillance camera was tampered with. The person who swapped the bird’s nest isn’t Reina.”

“What?”

Everyone was stunned and slightly surprised.

It was not Reina? Then who could it be?”

Everyone could not help but get tense and look at each other, wondering who exactly was the one who swapped the bird’s nest.

Yuliana also frowned.

Since she was standing not far from Vickie, she was able to see the image on the computer screen in front of Vickie at a glance.

She clearly did not see anyone else touch the cupboard at all, so how could Vickie suddenly judge that it was not Reina who took it?

Was she trying to lie through her teeth?

Thus, Yuliana spoke very discontentedly.

“Vickie Thomas, I know that you have good intentions and only want to spare that kitchen maid, Reina, but as a person, shouldn’t you have the most basic sense of right and wrong? The picture on the computer clearly showed that no one appeared, and only Reina opened the cupboard to retrieve something inside. How can you conclude that the bird’s nest was not taken by her?”

Vickie raised her head and looked at Yuliana coldly.

Yuliana did not know if it was her imagination, but she suddenly felt that Vickie’s gaze was a little odd.

It was as if... She was looking at a retarded person!

When Yuliana finally reacted, her heart leaped in anger.

However, before she could flare out, Vickie spoke again.

She said solemnly, “In the few days’ worth of surveillance footage, from start to finish, only Reina has opened the cupboard before. However, that doesn’t mean that the bird’s nest was swapped by her.”

Yuliana was puzzled. “If she was the only one who touched the cupboard, why didn’t it prove that she was the one who swapped them?”

Vickie paused and looked at Yuliana with some exasperation.

Andrea could not hold back and asked, “Miss Lynch, could you please wait for Miss Thomas to finish talking before asking questions? Miss Thomas hasn’t even finished speaking yet. How do you expect her to answer you?”

Yuliana. “...”

She gritted her teeth and scoffed coldly. “She talks so slowly so how was I supposed to know she wasn’t done yet? Geez! She’s a young girl yet speaks like an old woman. If someone didn’t know better, they would think that she’s perimenopausal.”

As soon as she said this, not only Andrea, but even Gregory’s eyes went slightly cold.

However, it was clear that no one on the scene wanted to bicker with her over such issues.

Vickie spoke in a light tone. “The reason why I said Reina didn’t take the bird’s nest is because this surveillance footage has been tampered with. The part I’m talking about is the part where I told Andrea to pause at. If you don’t believe me, then you can come over and take a closer look.”

Everyone was shocked at her words and leaned over to have a look.

Gregory did not even have to lean over since he had good eyesight. In fact, he had already noticed this detail during the several times that Vickie rewound the tape.

Perhaps the other party’s skills were not up to par, so although the image had been edited, there was still a small flaw in it.

In the scene where Vickie told Andrea to pause at, there was a figure who had clearly stepped into the frame with one foot, but the next second, the figure’s body completely disappeared.

The person was completely absent from the picture.

That was very strange.

That was because by all accounts, human movement had trajectories. It was impossible for one to disappear suddenly. There had to be a process of taking steps.

However, in this situation, it was obvious that there was a part of the image that had been cut off, but that person overlooked this small detail when they were cutting it out.

In their hurry, the person simply spliced the back of the picture with the front, thus forming this unexpected mishap.

Like this, everyone finally understood.

“Good heavens! Who could that be? Who edited the surveillance footage?”

“The person who edited it must be the person who swapped the bird’s nest!”

“But none of us know how to edit videos, so I don’t think it was done by the kitchen staff.”

Everyone could not help but burst into chatter about it.

At this point, Yuliana also vaguely realized that this matter really had nothing to do with Reina.

She could not help but feel a little annoyed at the moment. She had originally wanted to show her intelligence and capability in front of Gregory, but she unexpectedly ended up making a fool of herself.

In order to prevent Vickie from being superior to herself in Gregory’s view, Yuliana could only turn to the dark path.

Thinking about this, she quickly said, “Although the video has been edited, it doesn’t mean that Reina wasn’t the one who took it. Maybe she took the bird’s nest and then remembered that there were surveillance cameras, so she went back to edit the footage?”

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded at these words.

Yes, that was also a possibility.

However, Reina hurriedly waved her hands.

“No, I-I don’t know how to edit videos at all. Furthermore, there are people in charge of the surveillance cameras in the chateau. No one can get their hands on the footage without the Young Master’s command.”

That was true as well.

After all, Gregory’s identity was special, and the security in the chateau had always been very strict.

Things like surveillance footage naturally could not be touched by just anyone.

Thinking of this, Vickie raised her head to look at Gregory, who had been standing to the side as an observer.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 816 Checking The Surveillance Cameras Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Gregory raised his brows and also understood her meaning.

Thus, he turned and called one of his men in charge of the surveillance cameras to come over.

The person who came was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. With slightly messy hair and a pair of glasses, at a glance, he looked like a gentle and cultured man.

As he made his way here, he already knew the reason why Gregory had called for him.

Thus, as soon as he came over, he adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained obediently, “I’m responsible for installing all the surveillance cameras in the auxiliary building, but because the kitchen is far away from the main control room, I installed a separate switchboard in the lounge next to it. I’m in charge of the entire auxiliary building, but I can’t always be on this side, so the server room is usually locked.”

Vickie asked, “Are you the only one who has the keys?”

The person nodded and fished a key out of his pocket.

“Yes, only I have the key. There are no other copies of this key.”

Vickie looked at the key with dark eyes.

Things had come to a slightly bizarre point.

At this time, Andrea seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, “In other words, isn’t it even more impossible for Sister Reina to have stolen the bird’s nest? After all, the person who took the bird’s nest is the person who edited the video. Putting aside the question of whether Sister Reina knows how to edit the video or not, she can’t even get into the server room without a key.”

Her words were like a wake-up call for the dreamer.
