Chapter 544
The computer engineer once again sat down in front of the computer to review the surveillance footage.
Fetching the video would take a bit of time, and Ellinor was getting a tad lied standing amund She scanned the room, looking for a chair to park herself on
And just as she was on the hunt for a seat, her gaze once again collided with Theo’s deep–set eyes.
Theo was also there, given that it was about the real story behind his son’s burn injury.
But he didn’t approach or say anything and just found himself a chair where he could chill out and smoke a cigarette, looking like he couldn’t care less about what was going down
The smoke blurred her vision, making it impossible for Ellinor to read Theo’s mind. She had a hunch that he wasn’t all that concerned about his wife and child.
Just then, a slender hand passed her a bottle of mineral water.
Ellinor looked at the water, then up at Bartlett’s handsome and gentle smile. “Thanks” She said as she took the bottle.
She was indeed a bit parched. She uncapped the bottle, took a sip, and threw a glance at Patricia sitting nearby.
Patricia seemed to be keeping her cool, looking like she had nerves of steel.
The waiter, Gavin, on the other hand, wasn’t as cool. He seemed really on edge and his fingers were fidgeting non–stop.
A few minutes later, the computer engineer got up to report, “Mr. Howard, the waiter named Gavin went to the private room again after Ms. Howard and her friends left, coming out about a minute later. I’ve clipped the relevant part of the footage. You can come take a look.”
Balfour walked over, checked the footage, and confirmed that Gavin did indeed go to that room again about 20 minutes ago.
Then, Balfour turned to Ellinor with a serious look, “What does him going back to that room imply?”
Ellinor responded, “Mr. Howard, it implies a lot. Because this is enough to prove that he took the memory card from the room’s surveillance camera”
Balfour looked at the waiter, “Did you take the memory card from the surveillance camera?”
Gavin quickly shook his head in denial, “No! Not me! What memory card? I, I don’t know!”
Ellinor calmly capped her bottle of water and said, “Gavin, the hallway’s surveillance video has recorded that you entered that room again after we left. Are you still going to deny it?”
“Oh? Is that so? Did you finish cleaning in just one minute? Even if you’re super efficient, why did you lie just now? You obviously went to the room, but you said you didn’t. What are you trying to cover up?”
